Thank you all ! Most unexpected.
This poem was a tribute to my Mother-in-law, Candy, who passed away October the 3rd; the youtube song I linked to was her favorite.
Next Minimalist theme: Harvest

"Harvest" will be a good Minimalist theme. I watched the youtube song you posted and, I admit, I got a little teary...very touching. I was particularly touched with the way the visuals included every race and religion. God, Buddha, Jesus, and the Dali Llama were all featured. It was a gentle reminder that God loves us all. Candy must have been very special.
Pumpkins and corn
Potatoes and wheat
Food harvested and stored
For future eating...

(Taken from real life many many years ago in a field near Hull)
In my pea viner,
I could look over your hedge,
It's suprising what you see,
Harvesting veg.
You were laid on your lounger
for an all over tan,
Quite an eye opener,
for a harvestin' man.
Were we worthy of such harvest
Ready every year?
It came if we were good or bad.
It came if we were glad or sad,
Regardless of the fear we had,
Steady every year.
Zeal and late harvest winds
redden our cheeks, our hands,
amidst rustling vine leaves
and short, slanted sunrays
Early dusk. We stumble
over the last pumpkins,
back home to our fireside
to roast sweet chestnuts
Every step time takes
upon harvested fields
leaves footprints in autumn's
bountiful memories
now bedded down for
winter's silent slumber
The tears you cried in spring came around in fall.
The tears you cried, they hurt us all.
Deadline mid-night California PST tonight !
Enjoying the entries to date.
A poem I wrote several years ago I'd like to share:

harvest the thought
save it for when it is
sought
after all a feeling
is what it ought
when words
let's you fault.
bump;)
I think this needs a judge anyone ? :)
I agree with cacian—this contest is nigh one month overdue! I even pm'd Tailor to make sure he was okay but got no answer. I keep my fingers crossed he's just overbooked.
But can anyone else play the judge, please?
good point. how about you do it then start it off
oops but then you can you have posted or can you or maybe someone else. let see if anyone is online haha ;)
I don't look into this site much these days but I'd say let pendragon take over.
