Hemingway

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
