  • The poem will be sender's choice, but MUST follow the basic rules and definition of a "minimalist poem" as well as the chosen theme. (see next two sections)

  • The basic qualifications that fit a minimalistic poem can be anything from a couple of words to a couple of lines or up to two stanzas.

I hope my English is good enough, but I let my sweetie check. Hehe.

Can you give some good links? I'm a little unsure and there are lots of different links on google.

Sure thing! I have never written a poem like this myself, so it should be fun to try!

I finished my piece yesterday and it was so much fun! I hope you do lots more of these minimalist poems!!! Or Haikus, minimalistic too. :-)
