9 Hemingway-inspired Haiku

12/14/2021

 
Picture
anxiously waiting
calm, soothing much as honey
a dram of whisky
.....
 
 once steady hands shake
abstinence cost him the kill
the big cat unscathed
.....
 
 marlin from the depths
bulls under the Spanish sun
writing is harder
.....
 
 the nib dipped in soul
authenticity the key
just one true sentence
.....
 
 life is to be lived
the sun, it sets and rises
youth, it slips away
.....
 
 between life and death
that is where the living is
life is on the line
.....
 
 they were unlucky
the marlin, they did not run
fishing to drink rum
.....
 
 life written in ink
with the pen and the bottle
life lived in whisky
​.....
 
 lie in every truth
a good writer walks the line
truth in every lie

I had taken a break from writing and blogging for a bit for the typical reasons, e.g., Alabama football, the holidays, etc. but I am back. Actually, I have been quiet busy on the literary front, mostly editing my forthcoming Heming Ways collection of microfiction which, as it stands now, I hope to have published on or around the new year. 

Meanwhile, back in November, the anthology of microfiction, The 50-Word Stories of 2021 (50 Give or Take Book 1) was released and is now available for purchase at major bookstores everywhere, including Amazon.

Also, I just penned a handful of haiku, each based on a selection from my Heming Ways for the annual Hemingway Society's holiday party. I'll be sharing those shortly.

Enjoy and stay tuned.

Happy Holidays everyone! Stay safe, happy, and healthy!
