I love that Poem by Emily. I really like the theme you're going with this year!
Great theme with the women authors, Claudia. I love Emily Dickinson. I still remember having to memorize and recite one of her poems back in grade school. I can still recall the words, too.
The wind began to rock the earth with threatening tunes and low.
He flung a menace at the sky, a menace at the earth....etc.
Amazing how it stays with me over forty years later.
Cattitude and Gratitude
@Diane - thank you so much, I am also happy how the theme evolves
@Cat - yes, we do remember more than we think! Thank you for dropping by
Great choice for D! It's sad to read about her reclusive life. Today she would most likely have been diagnosed with a mental illness and had some some help. She may have had a better life, but then, we may have been deprived of her great writings.

@Kathy - indeed, different times, different approaches
@Talya - she has an incredibke way with words
@Ruth - good :)
@Beverly - thank you, I enjoy it more and more
@Adam - so true
@Amy - welcome!
@Danneromero - happy you enjoyed it
@Pam - well put!
Wow, that's such a sad and deep poem. Maybe I should read more of Emily Dickinson's work.
As you know, I'm not good with poetry (but I know what I like), but the line about 'an instant's width of warmth disclosed' was stunning. So very melancholy.
@Misha - she has other great poems, worth reading
@Gil - I know but glad you liked her!
No one could be so deep and seemingly irreverent at the same time. Love her poems!
Just a glance is sometimes all it takes.
An insightful poem.
Sometimes I wonder if I leave the door open just a crack what will others see?
The High Cost of this Low Living
A poem well selected for Emily Dickinson. Such a profound meaning. I must confess, I'm not a huge fan of Emily Dickinson.
@Corinne - her style is unique, I agree
@Joyce - true
@Bushmann - sometimes I am glad we don't see in other rooms
@Suzy - not everyone's cup of tea, indeed
