Poems

1.It's all I have to bring today (26)

by Emily Dickinson

I have always loved Emily Dickinson and I really love this piece her repetition and rhyming are just so hypnotic. I also her use of recurring images and themes, like of nature and fields. It is truly beautiful.



2. I May After Leaving You Walk Quickly or Even Run

by Matthea Harvey

I like this poem because the images are so beautiful and sad at the same time. The whole poem really just spoke to me I guess it because it reminds me of a poem I wrote and I felt like I could feel what she was feeling. It just felt easier to connect to the words for me. Like the line "Heads in the planets, toes tucked under carpets, that’s how we got our bodies through." It is so beautiful and almost bittersweet in feeling.
