 On Meeting Hemingway To take a step through times of yore - In search of Hemingway From Sloppy Joe's a leisure stroll - Duval to Whitehead Street Each photo speaks of decades fore - Simplicity the way A tale For Whom the Bell might Toll - Where past and present meet Of families and homespun time - For Old Man and the Sea A tropic paradise so grand - Each morn spawned fine redact There penned much prose 'mongst touch of rhyme - Enscripted brilliantly From suite to loft, once catwalk spanned - His studio intact With sixty felines 'bout the grounds - Cats basking in the sun To Have and Have Not his avow - Now Papa's legacy The essence of bygone abounds - Cavort till day is done Though novel words long silenced now - His message holds the Key It's said that cats live one times nine - This six-toed cat was his For just one moment he was mine - And that's the way it is!!! Waft every crest upon your destined sea Embrace the Wave of Serendipity Lest its elusive arcane ecstasy Refurl with sail for all eternity Nancy |

Nice work Nan! I'm going to try this very very soon. I look forward to attending the class. *puts an apple on the teacher's desk* Build a man a fire, and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life. |

Wow Nan.. this was wonderful! You just took this form and kicked it in the butt! Beautiful poem... we all feel a connection to our favorite authors, and you describe it well. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, Nan! This is a very impressive poem! This is a difficult style to master and you make it look so effortless. Of course English teachers like Hemingway. |
