What Hemingway Saw And Felt That Summer

floor, rat eaten shoe
fisherman and lake in tune
dawn, eggs and bacon

Paul Callus April 10, 2018 at 8:59 AM I see contrasting images of life here, Robert. The first line is acknowledging its harsh reality; the next line reflects peaceful serenity; the third declares 'live for the moment' and 'make the best of it'! Regards, my friend. // paul Robert Lindley April 10, 2018 at 9:54 AM Spot on analysis my very insightful friend . To me that reflects much wisdom about life on your part. Recently I have written about two dozen Haiku's and have begun to like the poetry form more with each one I have written.

Dale Gregory Cozart April 4, 2018 at 8:18 PM I can really see this. Great imagery in so few words. Robert Lindley April 5, 2018 at 6:03 AM Thank you my friend. I was in a early morn thought about life, Nature and Fate. Hemingway, one of my favorite authors, came to mind and out came this poem.

Sara Kendrick April 4, 2018 at 5:29 PM Whoa! I would not have wanted to share that sight of a rat eaten shoe. Thanks for dropping by. Sara Robert Lindley April 5, 2018 at 6:01 AM Thank you my friend. Rat eaten shoes are just another part of the never ending destruction of things. Fate and Time decides what lasts and for how long..
