Here's #3, by a noted master of the catchy pop tune. You may know this one:

And it's no sacrifice
Just a simple word.
It's two hearts living
In two separate worlds.
But it's no sacrifice,
No sacrifice,
It's no sacrifice at all.

Mutual misunderstanding
After the fact.
Sensitivity builds a prison
In the final act.

We lose direction
No stone unturned.
No tears to damn you
When jealousy burns.


This is almost the poster child for minimalist poetry. And yet I adore the song.
