Emily Dickinson Has written over 2000 poems in her life time!She would write these poems on odd scraps of paper and in the bible .Only seven of these were published in her time.The rest of these became published after her death. Born 1830 and died in 1886 age 56 from illness. I think her poems are unique,so i thought i would share these two with you..What do you think she is trying to say in the first one? :valentine1:
So proud-was she
So proud she was to die It made us all ashamed That what we cherished, so unknown To her desire seemed.
So satisfied to go Where none of us should be, Immediately, that anguish stooped Almost to jealousy.
two butterflys
Two butterflies went out at noon And waltzed above a stream, Then stepped straight through the firmament And rested on a beam;
And then together bore away Upon a shining sea,-- Though never yet, in any port Their coming mentioned be.
If spoken by the distant bird, If met in ether sea By frigate or by merchantman, Report was not to me.
