I Cry for Angels

This is Modern Minimalist Poetry. I hope it comes across as intended.

tear swept eyes

lance blue

 

madness

 

pull apart little

pieces

 

of a smoke filled

mind

 

gentle thoughts

of a never place

 

ever place

 

waft and settle

here

 

so dear to me

 

so near

 

weakened red

hard

 

painful hard

 

yellow sky

crying

 

 

I cry for angels

Mike

Minimalist poetry is interesting to me as a writer because there is a strong importance attached to pucking not good words but "the perfect word". It allows us to better understand the power of words as individuals. Well written once again, Mike. Keep it up :)

this type of style lets me decide where I want to go...but that is just me
I am a paint the scene for me - skipper when I read ...I create my own mental images

I'm glad you enjoyed this, Holly. I guess that that's all a writer can ask for. Still getting around here. Hope to contribute in a meaningful, useful way. Still looking around here.

Thanks, Knightingale. You nailed this. MM wasn't meant to be a form at all. I created this version of Minimalism as a writing exercise for my fiction. To eliminate wasted words. Funny how things happen.
