Minimalism

Extreme simplification

of form, rhythm, and rhyme.

Repetition is more

likely to be a bore.

In art and sculpture too

what modern artists do.

It is boring to me

even in symphony.

Bolero is just one

that’s more boring than fun.

Bromidic verse could be

trite especially.

Simplicity may be

too minimal for me.
