Are you small,
Or are you faraway?
It's a matter of perspective
And my eyesight is defective.

ay up
My thoughts drift
On a sea of memory
Far, faraway
To realms I cannot see...

Faraway where monsters play
My mind will waste this lovely day.
Ok, I should be selecting today, 3 good entries so far... But let's give it another day, I'll take my decision tomorrow, so you can still participate! Make it minimalist, make me travel, make it "faraway".
"Im Arm der Liebe schliefen wir selig ein…" ("Liebesode" - Otto Erich Hartleben)
New poetry collection available (Kindle and paperback)
Alright, this was what I'd call a really, really minimalist round, mates! Where the entries were concernced (very short and to-the-point, even if not in the sense I expected/hoped for) as well as where the participation was concerned. Three entries… must be an alltime low in this section! Luckily enough, quantity doesn't have any influence on quality, so I must say, I really liked the three entries. To be honest, not one of them made me travel in the sense of "going to another country", but they made me react nonetheless.
Pendrelemick must certainly get this round's special Prize for the funniest poem; I really appreciated how you underlined the poem's pun by rhyming the last two lines. And not only is it a pun, but one that is oh! so true!
YesNo must get the special Prize for shortness; I'm not altogether sure I understood what you meant to say, but I liked it nonetheless.
And last but not least, because this round's winner: Pendragon. My mind drifted with you…
Best to all three of you, thanks for having participated, and now, it's up to you, Pendragon!

Sorry about the delay. Little action on these contests lately.
Try "apathy"

They say that politicians win
And I reply, "Whatever."
They say a lot. They start again,
But apathy just won't let in
Their energy, no, never.
Someone else may judge or start a new contest. I am gone until further notice.

YesNo - I declare you the winner of the last competition. Well done!
Would you like to choose a new subject / theme and set a deadline for the next round of the competition?
Thanks, b|v.
Thanks, blank|verse.
The next theme will be "monsters" for the minimalist poetry contest.
Deadline: May 31st.
monster did you say??!
oh not they are not for me
I'd rather have a flee.

it may never try
but when it does it sigh
it is just that
good
it fly
Sol
It is a giant eye
burning into me,
like a hand
around my throat
oppressing my breath,
there is no escape
no sanctuary,
slowly it siphons
my life away.

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
Drac snacks
Frankie lurks
Mum-mum rustles
Gilly splashes
Wolfie howls
Witchipoo chants
Windy eats people
Zombie totters
I run
Actually, this one is me. My account had problems, long story. Oddball no loner exists, it was just me, Pendragon, trying to figure out what I did with my password....

Thank you all for the entries:
cacian: I liked "not they are not for me".
Dark Muse: After two very warm days, I feel the same way about the sun. But it is better than the polar vortex.
Pendragon: Nice list of monsters to avoid. I'd run as well.
The winner is cacian!
Congratulations!
