POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Hemingway once wrote a short story with only six words. Today I tried to do the same.

M.J., I had written a very complimentary comment about this one. But PH was perfecting their vanishing skills. So, I done one better with my poem This Dinosaur!

There is a brilliant, albeit shadow side in this tremendous little poem; the title is the light that shines into the truth, we live longer in this modern age, but to what benefit? Great, great poem!

I think we all have taken a shot at Hemingway's shortest effective short story ever---even if we fail, it hones our skills and expands our imagination---thank you for your 6 word poem ---it was quite effective in making me feel quite ancient! ! ! ! grrrrrrr!

And you're a lot younger than I, Susan. So, imagine how it made me feel!

Thank you so much, Susan. Yes, the poem can certainly have that effect. It can also be seen as representing an act of defiance.
