Imagine a day spent with Emily Dickinson...
A chapter in the book Conversations in Poetry
Conversing With Emily
by ~Dovey
"There is no Frigate like a Book
To take us Lands away, Nor any Coursers like a Page Of prancing Poetry - This Traverse may the poorest take Without oppress of Toll - How frugal is the Chariot That bears a Human soul." Within today's economy Vacation is a luxury Many will ill afford; When pressures of the day to day I find a need to melt away And seek a just reward, To steal away to sunny nook Lost in the pages of a book I see the world anew, Transported there by poetry, I've spent the day with Emily, Enraptured by her view. "Who knocks? That April - Lock the Door - I will not be pursued - He stayed away a Year to call When I am occupied - But trifles look so trivial As soon as you have come" A quirk that now we celebrate The April that had come too late To call on Emily, Spark lights the fuse, itself imbues, Let daily write nourish the muse, Inspire poetry. |
Quoting Emily Dickinson's "There Is No Frigate Like A Book" and "Dear March - Come in"
