Writer’s Quote Wednesday
“The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.”
– Ernest Hemingway
I love this quote. I found out something new about Hemingway today. He was a poet! Yep, before notoriety, fame and fortune, he wrote poetry and lots of it!
I never got really deep into Hemingway, though it was always my intention. My general takeaway though, is that he just larger than life. I read an interview of him once, and I felt sorry for the interviewer. If he didn’t like the question. He would just take it, turn it around and answer that instead. It was hilarious and must have been something to watch.
The following link is to some of his poetry on allpoetry.com

And here is one of his poems, don’t know what hr was talking about, but there was cussing! And he was clearly mad:)
The Age Demanded
The age demanded that we sing
And cut away our tongue.
The age demanded that we flow
And hammered in the bung.
The age demanded that we dance
And jammed us into iron pants.
And in the end the age was handed
The sort of **** that it demanded.
by Hemingway

I found the following on wikipedia, a collection of his poems:
Complete Poems
Author Ernest Hemingway
Complete Poems, originally edited and published in 1979 by Nicholas Gerogiannisand revised by him in 1992, is a compilation of all the poetry of Ernest Hemingway.
Hemingway stopped publishing poetry as his fame grew, but continued to write it up until his death. (Wiki)
Who knew!

Trill & Final
Photo of street art
the final moments
of recess has come – the trill
of the bell lingers

I can still hear that bell. A good sized hand held brass bell. It was rung at the beginning and end of recess and lunch. It usually meant the end of all playing. The whole schoolyard rushed to lineup for re entry to their classrooms. Ah, those were the days dusty school yard, dusty chalk boards and that warm breeze blowing through the open classroom.

A poet can survive everything but a misprint.

Writer’s Quote Wednesday
“Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.”
—E.L. Doctorow
A short one this week. 🙂 I’m sure some of you can relate to this.
Happy Holidays.

CHANCE
his first months of life were spent in a shoe box
in the top dresser drawer wrapped in
a very warm blanket
poor folks incubator
fed with a dropper the midwife offered
very little chance for survival
his momma named him
Chance
from a fragile start
he weathered the storms of life
grew into an oak
