Ode to Emily Dickinson

[msleilanamara]

"Long, long after your earthly grave--

One understands your poems saved--

And spreads each page, beautifully swept.--

Oh, such a little room you kept."

Wonderful tribute to the late, great Emily Dickinson! I can't speak for all of Emily's admirers, but this was a beautiful-- thanks for sharing!

Thematically, it's Dickinsonian. The sound patterning reminds me more of Poe. Not that that matters; point is, it's an enjoyable poem.

In the description, could you include the text of your poem? That would help me process what I'm hearing.

have you heard jash's song about emily dickinson? see: emily dickinson by jash

[FranklinParkIL]

How long have you been studying Emily Dickinson?

Your poem was very Dickinsonian in nature.

I'll feature it on my channel for awhile.

Your poem about Dickinson is one of the most beautiful commentaries on her life that I have come across--and I teach literature with a specialty in Dickinson, so I'm not talking out of my ass.

[CR65]

That was magnificent, It made me tear up. I love Emily Dickinson-my namesake. You did her justice.

[mammutly]

I expected to be irritated. 'Odes' being mostly of the ilk of o'er. As in o'er my shoulder and in t'bin. This though was good, very good. Thankyou and do keep writing.

[noodlezrock]

you wrote it? thats beautiful. i love this. Emily is amazing. she used to lower baskets of cookies for children. and she was a ghost figured woman she always wore white. also she went to a private school for girls but she got so homesick she came back home after a year. im learning more about her. ^_^

Iloved your poem as emily is one of my favorite poets. your poem was beautiful and your reading of it was awsome

[freakypoet]

As a fellow poet, I can say that your poem is great. Emily Dickinson was an immensley private person, and I think that you captured that well.
