Dear Emily--Come in-- How nice this is-- I hoped that you would now-- Put down your Coat-- I see that you walked-- How tiny your hands seem-- Dear Emily, how are you, and the Rest-- Did you leave Amherst well-- Oh Emily, Come to my room with me-- I have very much to tell I got your Book, and the Poems The Brontes never knew you would be here--till I called I declare--how Bright their Faces grew-- But Emily, forgive me--and All those Words you left for me to Read-- There was no Voice suitable-- Save for yours Dear, indeed-- Who knocks? That Browning. Lock my Heart-- I will not be swayed-- She stayed away a year to come When I am now busy-- But details look so small Whenever you are here These words are just as dear as Yours And Yours as mere as These Note: Yes, this poem is based on Dear March--Come in-- by Emily Dickinson. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |

AD Hi there this utterly utterly spectacular. The flow the construction the rhythm all combine to make this a truly outstandingly fabulous poem. Rarely is writing this good, certainly this far exceeds my expectations and my expectations for you are always high. YOU are a very good writer and this proves it.

lovely Sven...a year or two ago, I looked up in search for a Walter Benton poem, a favorite poet of Wilfred Yeats (Bill) and I came across another poet who then became a correspondence friend on line...He too passed away..but here is an absolute favorite of mine from him and I thought you may enjoy it...and the idea behind it..*s I shared with him my Lady Ollyne poems and the idea behind her and her Knight: It's called Correspendence With Emily http://www.geocities.com/Paris/LeftBank/9483/dearem.html I hope you enjoy it, put the sound on..the music is perfect for it. ~smiling Maureen |

thank you all my friends. . . this one came to me while I was reading Dear March. . . Emily's always been one of my favorites. . . isn't it interesting how, to some, her life is still a mystery, and yet, her words tell us all that we need to know about her. . .  Maureen, thank you so much for the link. . . I loved it. . . ---------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person.

I'll bet this one would sound wonderful read out loud. Loved it! How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so. |
