John Hemingway -The Last Of The Few
John Hemingway has died at the age of a hundred and five
It was the luck of the Irish he said that helped him to survive
At the age of nineteen he left his home in County Dublin
And enlisted in the Royal Air Force and was officially sworn in.
It was at the age of twenty-one that

Literary Feud Among - Pt 1
Prelude to what…..
I see you, / you / yes, come into my……
laboratory of alchemist mystical languaging.
where arsenic spills into the whirlpool of thought
and savage syntax shatter like glass on concrete.
Where Titans clash their pens
both spear and shield
signifier and signified in eternal dance.
What truths lie hidden in
the battle's tolling roll call.
Just what

Like Hemingway
I passed through Ketchum
Losing my mind
Surrounded by talking walls
One drink turns to a bottle
I try to write
Poetry is poetry
At the moment I drink surrounded by walls and I write" I was here then I was gone"

Hemingway and Wilde
Once for whom the bell tolls did exist
the playwright and the war journalist.
Wilde had an ego that’s true
but Hemingway always knew
the importance of being Ernest!

Both men had huge egos. Ernest

Rereading Hemingway
The re-read (poet)
Hemingway was a writer suffering from a disabling inhibition,
the conversation he had with women in his books are based
on wishes and not reality.
Women in his life were stronger than him, he tried
to compensate by bawdy behavior, it always ended with him
stroking the cat and she going back to the

The Old Man In a Boat
Our nephew and his lovely wife invited us for an afternoon on their boat
and I immediately thought of The Old Man And The Sea…you know the book that Hemingway wrote.
As I lounged in the softness of my seat and felt the wind blowing through my hair…I wondered about Hemingway’s fisherman…and how he and I would

Papa
A boat crafted of rickety wood dragging a clumsy bottom
A briny sea inhales the morning sun
Hemingway is in my boat
Rubbing my weary eyes,
Is that you, I query
Call me Papa, he proffers
With my papers clinched in leathery hands
Did you read my book; I ask?
Not bad, he replies, too many words
Too many, I ponder
Icebergs, pointing crooked fingers
