poet.....Blah.....Blah....Blah

Emily Dickinson

I like her beacause her poems are very short and i like short poems. they are not complicated and is easy to read.here are 3 poems written by her.


Biography
Emily Dickinson, regarded as one of America’s greatest poets, is also well known for her unusual life of self imposed social seclusion. Living a life of simplicity and seclusion, she yet wrote poetry of great power; questioning the nature of immortality and death, with at times an almost mantric quality. Her different lifestyle created an aura; often romanticised, and frequently a source of interest and speculation. But ultimately Emily Dickinson is remembered for her unique poetry. Within short, compact phrases she expressed far-reaching ideas; amidst paradox and uncertainty her poetry has an undeniable capacity to move and provoke.



Quite Empty Quite at Rest
Quite empty, quite at rest,The Robin locks her Nest, and tries her Wings.She does not know a RouteBut puts her Craft aboutFor rumored SpringsShe does not ask for NoonShe does not ask for Boon,Crumbless and homeless, of but one requestThe Birds she lost


Yesterday is History
Yesterday is History,'Tis so far awayYesterday is Poetry'Tis Philosophy
Yesterday is mysteryWhere it is TodayWhile we shrewdly speculateFlutter both away


Heart, we will forget him
Heart, we will forget him,You and I, tonight!You must forget the warmth he gave,I will forget the light.
When you have done pray tell me,Then I, my thoughts, will dim.Haste! ‘lest while you’re lagging I may remember him!
