Can you omit the second occurrence of the word "poems" in a sentence like the following?
I like Lord Byron's poems, and also enjoy a number of Percy Shelley's [poems].
Answer
Yes, you can.
Also, extending @FumbleFingers' comment, you could even omit the first "poems":
I like Lord Byron's (and also enjoy a number of Percy Shelley's) poems.
