Depression, a killer of dreams and lives. A friend and I went to his house in Key West Florida a long time ago now and wondered how such a gifted man as he, living in a paradise such as this could ever think of taking his own life. Depression is the answer we came up with and suicide, he didn't know that it is contagious and that one of his beautiful daughters would follow his plan of exit. Sad, but an excellent penning. Thank you, J'nia

Lonliness is on hell of a companion. For some like Hemmingway it was enough to make him actually pull the trigger. I have been there many times but I just couldn't do it. Maybe he was a braver soul than I, or I am stronger. No matter. Hope you are well my friend.

Fee,
For me, the saddest part in this poem is where he sits alone in a crowd. I think some of us have been there; I know I have. Artists are prone to that type of loneliness, no? Love and Hugs,
Sheila

One of Pappa Hemingway's disciples although without ownership of a double barreled shotgun (why tempt destiny?) this is a sane tribute to a man that went insane for a second and choose to shot the demons taking over his head.
For whom the bells told?...they did it for Ernest.
Perfect, Fee.
