This is my letter to the world
THIS is my letter to the world,
That never wrote to me,
The simple news that Nature told,
With tender majesty.
Her message is committed
To hands I cannot see;
For love of her, sweet countrymen,
Judge tenderly of me!
by Emily Dickinson

As Valentine's day gift, I received a book of poems by Dickinson.
A really special gift for more than one reason ;)
This epigram that I share is the opening for her collection of poems on "Life".

Brings to life memories simple and sweet -
And you read your emily dickinson,
and i my robert frost,
And we note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what we’ve lost.

Simon and Garfunkel indeed!

beautiful words...and indeed a very nice gift to give..:)
keep reading and relishing..
I love poems that are short,sweet and precise
with rhythm and rhyme.
and can keep you engaged.
not a big fan of flowery language or even abstract stuff.
What i mean by abstract is "beating around the bush' and overvisiting a thought or feeling.
