Emulating Emily

This is much like the "Wording Whitman" post.... but with Emily Dickinson's work instead. Again the same idea of understanding style was explored. Also with this poet punctuation and its functions where brought to light in many respects. Personally I believe that Dickinson is a wonderfully brilliant poet and a pleasure to read but rather difficult to copy. She is nothing if not unique.



Children?

I am child. How old are you?
Are you a child too?
Are you and I - a we?
Shhh - we’re hiding.

Oh - responsibility. Being an adult
O - innocent beliefs falling fading fleeting
To wake and work-the long day
To pause resting no more.
