Emily Dickinson had me --
Emily Dickinson had me —
Motivated to write —
A poem as a summary —
That helped me to grow up —
A work of art — unsettling me —
By a poet — I praise,
Superbly wrote — A Clock stopped,
Emily Dickinson —
Reading the poem many times —
Still planted unresolved —
Incomplete — curious feelings —
Made me love her poem —
I, then, had to analyze it —
For sake of fulfillment —
Later I found out — I have read —
Her elaborate wit —
It’s not because I have talent —
To dissect her poem —
Please! I would be the last student —
To have such genetic —
But it would be the opposite —
To have passion to learn —
It only requires to sit —
And my will to discern —
ABCB rhyme — her clipped tone —
They’re chilling —
To the bone —
Forces one to realize — that Life —
Something not to be rife —
Sudden in life — A clock can stop —
A time where rain can’t drop —
The best people in Life are free—
Also the most worthy —
Emphasis on Anaphora —
Gives me Euphoria —
I love this puzzle-like Poem —
And its imperfect hymn —
This was the moment I grew up —
And realize that no time —
Was endless —
Hence I glowed up —
And stopped being helpless —
Reading through — the mystifying —
Surely makes us rethink —
Time is limited —
So, how will we spend it?
