Emily....

...Dickinson, never got the fame she earned,
but some of us are fans alright, because we learned...
..some simple little ditties, there are two that I like best,
and honestly I'm not familiar, not with all the rest.

"A bird came up the walk,
he did not know I saw;
he bit an angleworm in half
and ate the fellow raw."

What's wrong with that? Not one damn thing.
See what I mean? Are you listening;
she was a genius, or at least smart,
who else could wax poetic from the very start?

"Hope, is that thing with feathers,
that perches in the soul,
and sings the words to a song,
which he does not know"

Now don't you want to learn some more,
like rush right down to the book store,
with stuff like that, you could talk all day,
even when you don't quite have..anything to say.

Have a great day everyone!!
