Best Minimalism Poems

Queen of Materialism Versus Queen of Minimalism
She shops and shops and shops and shops.
She is either in a store or on the phone.
Amazon boxes surround her house.
Some are opened, some are not.
She is a consumer, smothered under boxes.
You can find her hand reaching toward the...

     Seems Minimalism:
     Life choosing whichever theme
     May be peerless on quality prime.
     At last ends in burial
     turning trivial.

by God’s triumphant  might

while loving neighbors as yourself.

When everything seems worth keeping
And I can't keep my mind clean
When everything seems worth keeping...

She walked with resolve through her thoughts late last night, 
Walked in a single straight line,
She walked determined to clear it all out, 
All the colourful shapes in her mind,

The shapes that have jumbled the clear and concise, 
That messed up where her thoughts belong,
She...

But
if
quakers
are shakers-
they do it with style...

The more I can have, the more I see, 
The less I really need,
The less I want around my house and 
The less I want to read,

About how much that I should have, 
How much that I should buy,
With all the cash that I have...

white
 a sensation of floating
 suspended
    in
an emblematic
essence
of infinity

distilled down
 transcending
   the conventional

a pure form
  an absence
of colour
  as a timeless presence
perfectly aligned
 questioning
    reshaping
the undertones
    of enigma
with
an interplay of shades
meditative,
 therapeutic
as
 a whisper
in the
  maze
     of imagination

See behind this curtain,glimpses into the soul,to reveal within the heart, innermost thoughts,living truths become the now from then. Hidden allusions, enigmatic yet proven by time,pared down succinct,derivated but different,live and breathing empirical minimalist moments of inspiration.Everything flows so smooth in this show of former...

Quaint

gas street lamps;

not too many are left.

Their soft, warm, amber glows

replaced by hard, cold, white beams;

the new  L  E  D  technology
 
of our advanced,

modern age.

The dyed bamboo of Chinese finger traps
Should have taught me everything

To strive is to cut through jungle
To surrender is to know
I am jungle...

The blind man visited you
With the help of his stick…

You let him in.

When he left you found out that
Your wallet has gone…...

He wanted stark, she wanted mess.
Bareness irritated her, he insisted on no paintings.
He loved their boring black and white life.
She wanted color, pizazz, flair.  He did not.

But wait, she lived here too, right?
She dragged in an orange vase and a turquoise box.
Tiny, unnoticeable items,...
