Notes About The Poem

Favorite Movie

Favorite Movie

Ernest Hemingway's book,
"A Farewell To Arms" was 
made for movie theaters
and stirred my emotions
in the year 'fifty-eight.
It was a big hit then.

Since I was with child,
Catherine awakened
such deep maternal
feelings inside me.
I felt how she felt.

Sad times ahead.
Baby born dead;
mother passes.
So traumatic.

Broken hearts;
sober scenes
full of grief.

My eyes,
full of

tears.
