0' Soul, Can Poetic Art Heal Such Broken Heart, Renewed Tribute Series, Emily Dickinson

0' Soul, Can Poetic Art Heal Such Broken Heart Her pen bled deep, and this her fans may yet agree She felt a torrid hell, darkest of angry seas Should her pen have conquered deepest of her fears Could her poems have stopped flow of her falling tears? Although we may stand aghast at sorrows once seen Her agony in ink, shows true as Nature's green Of a poet facing darkness, death and its gloom Fully aware of life's end, its rest in the tomb. Seeker of more, Death haunted her with mortal strife With pains and dying of beloved ones in her life 0' soul, can poetic art heal such broken heart In glory, renewal of spirit thus impart? Her pen bled deep, and this her fans may yet agree Immense sorrows and beauty in her poetry! Robert J.

A beautiful sonnet and a great tribute. I saw a few translations of Emily Dickinson into Russian, not very successful. Amazing poetess. Alas, readers failed to appreciate in her time. Such is often the case for good poets.
