Hemingway liked short sentences
With few adjectives
Minimal repetition
Telling big stories
Using few words
For sale, baby shoes, never worn
A poetic hand grenade
Tossed into your mind
Exploding your imagination
Shrapnel adjectives sting
Speaking volumes
Talented chef
Simple meal
Small portions
Bursting with flavor
Eat slowly
Party in mouth
Subject photographed
No background
Draws you in
Glorious closeups
Incredible beauty
Warts and all
Music plays
One instrument
Few notes
Long pauses
Empty silence
Full thoughts
Short walk
Becomes a journey
Marathon achieved
Without sweat
Empty finish line
No medals
Your brief nap
Filled with dreams
