Emily Dickinson

I have always really enjoyed the poetry of Emily Dickinson. She had a very simple way of expressing rather complex things. She said once "I find ecstasy in living". I like that alot. You might enjoy spending sometime walking in her steps. If so here is a link to a complete collection of her works.

Emily Dickinson

Here one her poems. It is one of my favorites.


I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there ’s a pair of us—don’t tell!
They ’d banish us, you know.

How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!


She didn't title her poems, so they are usually listed under the first line.
I understand this. I find titling poetry a difficult thing.
