Best Minimalist Poems

Hanging to his dwindling sanity
he haphazardly weaves a net
of confused and conflicting emotions.
Weakened by pangs of futility
the strained fine thread snaps...

Lyrics absorbed in bitter tears;
leaves fallen like early autumn.
Gods mourn as darkness falls,
enveloping around an oak tree
the sage always meditated under.

(fromThe John Poems)

Then I loved you
Now I don’t
Once I would
Now I won’t

You were here
Now you’re gone
No one left
To mow my lawn

Lock’s been changed
Key’s been hid
Phone’s unplugged
Heart’s up for bid

You were mine
Now you’re hers
On your head
I place a curse...

Winter’s white shawl gently envelops
purple heather on the hillside
Children launch their shiny sledges
on fresh crisp glistening snow;

I AM A MINIMALIST 
I DO LITTLE 
INTENTIONALLY
I MAKE THE MOST
MINIMAL STATEMENTS
ABOUT SIMPLE
AND/OR
 COMPLEX CONCEPTS 
THAT ARE ON 
THE CUTTING EDGE OF 
NOTHINGNESS
AND/OR EVERYTHINGNESS
DEPENDING ON WHICH SIDE 
OF THE WORLD 
YOU STAND ON

I APPROACH MY WORK 
THROUGH 
EITHER ADDITION
AND/OR SUBTRACTION
IN LITTLE STEPS
GOING BACK 
AND FORTH

Labyrinthine mind jams  along mazes
Searching restlessly for inner fortitude;
Till  amaranth weeds point eastward--
Reams clearing passage  through sunrise
To unveil enlightenment—an epiphany!

Iridescent cellar of midnight opens
Where  waterfall’s  hair ripples down -

Glossy locks splashing my face
To  rinse  past’s  unsolved  omissions –

Evening ivory bathing new promises.

Go toss your fetchings to the curb.
Your possessions have you tardy.
You'll thank the blessings for this cause
to keep you from this lardy.

To minimize your things of pleasure.
The stuff put under dust.
To save you time from being a slave
whatever cost you must.

To gradually ween you from...

Majestic prancing encompassing the marsh
Holding hands, proudly singing gay
Our love exaggerating every moment
Our muse illuminating into aglow
Forth into the White Night

Riviera Night (my own title)

Your kisses were smoother than

the leather of the seat

on which we sat embracing.

I pray our last night

lingers in your memory too.
