that sang in the gale.
that arrived in my sleep.
holding a plant soft plumed in green.
then find this flower in the marsh.
hinged with the shimmer of dragonflies.
pinnatus in her ancient tongue.
Emily’s “hope poem” has been on my bulletin board for many years.
and so does the seamless flow from stanza to stanza. I love it!
I deeply appreciate your kind remarks and agree, that poem by Emily is one of my favorites! I love all her work that one really speaks to me!
That Dickinson poem seems to be one of the most often quoted when she is discussed. You do it justice here.
Thank you for reading and commenting on my poem!! I sincerely appreciate your kind words.
So glad you enjoyed the poem and especially those lines! I really appreciate your thoughtfulness!
