Minimalism

I think I must have begun my "minimalist period" in this blog. :)  This is similar to Picasso's "blue period" devoid of the blue, and John Lennon's "white period" shorn of the white.

This has been one of my favorite poems since I was very young:

The Red Wheelbarrow
by William Carlos Williams 

so much depends
upon

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens.
