Ah lovely John, it isn't as easy as it looks to write just a few lines and yet paint an image but you have successfully done it and i love the image painted "Bare Feet" best of all :)
My favorite of all of these is "the Storm".....all of them bring back memories to me. Dancing on the edge of the water, old friends who have passed, and just the warm ambiance of your words. John, you are a true poet. Enjoyed them all. Lydi**
I love minimalist style what I think of is attack and retreat poetry. It let's the reader create.
With that said never give up epic where word play is the building blocks to a new world.
You should win the contest with this.

You are very kind Cherrie. My effort at minimalist poetry. Thank you for reading and the kind words.
I like all of them but the one that got me most is the simplest one. I remember you.
I've lost lots of friends to death or separation of states. I think about them all the time.

People always say write for one's self, but our audience does influence us to some degree. We are fighting shortened attention spans.
how wonderful to see something different from You my friend, this is passionately done, I felt I was swaying from season to another with the happy tune of love, I specially love "the storm" verse. thank You for sharing this with us.
