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.
