"Yes, Emily Dickinson, I'm Nobody, too."

Apology For Her
Apology for her is a short but deep poem. In the poem she is apologizing to one of her friends. Its important because she felt like she let some one down and needed to apologize. This poem has some rhyme in it and it also has consonance. This poem is a breath taking poem, it really can show you how much a person can respect another person.
The Woodpecker
The Woodpecker is a poem about a bird who will search all over pecking at trees to find a worm. What I take from this is to not give up until you get what you want. This poem has rhyme and imagery too. This poem is a good motivational poem.
These-Saw Visions
This is a poem of her imagining to marry a guy she likes. What I am getting from this is she cant have the guy she likes but she like to imagine that she does get him. Its pretty heart touching and sad to me. There is rhyme and imagery in this poem. The poem really shows what love can do

Emily really brought out that you should try your best for what you want in life.http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-dust-behind-i-strove-to-join/
