Simple Ernest

Hemingway used small words to say big things
For some educated poets that's a bite that stings
You didn't need a dictionary or a point of origin to understand
Still his writing could take you to far off lands
He wrote about simple people fighting against the odds
Whether it be about a boat, a fish, a bull, or even the Gods
It's not about who can have the most ten dollar words
It's about whose writing separates the writer from the herd
