And revery

Apr 22, 2007 20:09

I renewed my domain today. So Happy 2nd Birthday, BarefootSong.net! :) In honour of the occasion, I did a little housework, though not enough. I must try to keep the "dust" from accumulating on my sadly neglected website!

In celebration of Earth Day, three short Emily Dickinson poems about nature~~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

To make a prairie it takes a clover
and one bee, --
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do
If bees are few.

*

COCOON
Drab habitation of whom?
Tabernacle or tomb,
Or dome of worm,
Or porch of gnome,
Or some elf's catacomb?

*

SUNSET
A sloop of amber slips away
   Upon an ether sea,
And wrecks in peace a purple tar,
   The son of ecstasy.

~ Emily Dickinson
