All he desired was to get clear,
to run himself far away from...

Thinking of one of the greatest,
Poets of all time.

When no one can see your,

Reads your poems and,

Emily's Elegy
Some master he was grand,
That made flirtations be.
If were she thereof in demand
And adapt into his arms free.
But it was a bother to bore,
Staying private 'twas best.
Wherefore she locked herself indoors
To block out her aggress.

To Emily, Who Heard the Quiet Things
Emily, you stitched the world into small, precise syllables,
tucking eternity into lines so brief,
they might be mistaken for whispers.
But in your whispers, there were earthquakes,
the kind that only the soul could feel.
You walked the garden...

A Letter to Emily and Edgar
“Tell all the truth but tell it slant—”
So you whispered, Emily, through shrouded lace,
while your pen carved light into Amherst shadows.
But truth, even slant, can cut,
and not all knives find a hand to hone them.

The Belle of Amherst

all the days were seldom kind,
the world, to you seemed blind
yet in your works I do find,
sincerity end to end.
You gave us pauses--stresses too--
lines that questioned a callous life,
verses, unfinished,...

You can’t control weather at the Pole;
But Thule as a rule is always quite cool.
You’ll hate Scottish weather - it’s never really hottish,
And the climate in Chile you’ll always find ...

Emily Dickinson
A recluse nicknamed ‘nun of Amherst
Wrote rhymes about death, faith and curse
‘Springfield Republican’ cleaved her mind
Where thoughts are joined you will find
‘Hope is the thing with feathers’
Where sweetest sound of gale is heard
She left an...
