less is more

less is more

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto
"

I actually love Hemingway's writing, perhaps more than any other writer ever.

"

less is more

 

 

Hemingway's white elephant

drove him over the edge

too wide for his traveling legs

too thick skinned

for his rifle to make a dent

 

the sportsman out sported

riding in the trunk of his ego

 

a man's man's man

the great black hunter

with his dark thoughts

inked

for posterity

very short stories

to match his attention span

 

when his typewriter

wouldn't fire.

His writing is perfect for my very short attention span.

Gee

Will have to go track him down and have a read. The shorter the work the better for me too
