Great American poetess, Emily
Belonging to Amherst family
Her childhood free from each hazard
Not in the least would look her haggard
But there was none who could presage
Because of gobbled up beverage
When she reached the age of puberty
Of love she took the liberty
Her beloved, Susan caused her torment
To remain reclusive and dormant
Her intrigue was queer and to haunt
Which was dangerous like white-ant
Great tragedy happened by a preacher
In her Philadelphia excursion faced treacher
Seven poems published in her lifetime
These were enough as treasure prime
At length she met an end of life
That was indeed full of strife
She had secluded existence
Death of father made her tense
This seclusion proved perdition
Unfulfilled was her ambition
emily dickinson's work is most inspirational. her words were beautifully penned with a soulful heart. she set a standard for the art of writing romantic and sensitive poetry.
I love Emily's poems. Yes she led a sad and lonely existence. Luckily she lives on in her work and our hearts.Thank you for sharing. Linda
