Thanks, Prendrelemick.
The number of entries so far is certainly minimalist. Anyone else?

Aftermath
A time for reflection
And starting over
Soon as I get myself
Up off this floor
Knew I shouldn't
Have had that last drink
At least I'm on the floor
And not in the clink!

Begone the Bygone
let not the auld hoary
year pass blameless as we
toast our reverie -
lest out with the bath's weep
we too throw the baby

Thanks, North Star! And thanks tailor STATELY!
The next topic for the minimalist contest is "Valentine".
The deadline will be Valentine's Day which is Feb 14, so I won't forget.
Valentine
cupid's arrow takes flight
a smitten heart requites:
flutters with the wings - of
hundreds of butterflies

This contest is over.
Thanks, tailor STATELY, for the entry. It was a nice mixture of Cupid's arrow with the butterflies one associates with love.
The winner is tailor STATELY!
Congratulations!
Thank you YesNo. It's a bittersweet win as the only entry, but let us continue...
Next minimalist theme: Feathers
Deadline to be determined later.

Whether a feather can help a bird fly
I wonder and doubt though that plane in the sky
Goes faster than birds and weighs more than they do
And that mystery’s something that bothers me, too.
Drop Me a Feather
Feathers float down
The angles are molting
The eagles don't soar
The sparrow won't fly
I sit atop the mountain
Exhausted with climbing
Head raised to heaven
Feathers in my eyes...

New dawn splintered
a wink of enlightenment—
the Robin is singing
feather
to light
height
is warmth
to form and might
A featherweight
of fluffy life
unburdens
the universe.
