One doesn’t often think of Hemingway as a poet which is why I like this little gem. (Okay, we also share a birthday.) It also matches how I feel with going to work the day job when I would so much rather be home working on my next book.
Chapter Heading
For we have thought the longer thoughts
And gone the shorter way.
And we have danced to devil’s tunes
Shivering home to pray;
To serve one master in the night,
Another in the day.
Ernest Hemingway
The round-up this week is over at Becky’s Book Reviews.
I think every writer writes poetry at some time or other.
I have a day job too, serving one master in the night and another in the day, but thankfully today is one of my days off! Writing and holiday shopping await.

WOW. This is entirely the artist’s life all over. Unless we go back to having patrons (or trust funds), we’re all doing a day job.
Thanks for sharing this!
