Reader's response #6

I really don’t know about Emily Dickinson, I have heard about her. This is the first time I had read one of her poems and I feel kind of connected to her and her poems. Like the one where she talks about her grandfather. I liked all her poems because it feels as though you go through the experience with her as she talks about her past. I kind of didn’t like the poem about morning because I fully didn’t understand what she was implying, or trying to tell the reader. What I did like about the poem is that she made nature have some human characteristics to it.
The poem that I did really like is you are my light. This relates to my life because when you find that one special person that you trust to help you along the way, things just seem so much better and easier to do, because you’re not alone. My personal definition of poetry is something from the heart. It’s when you put your soul into what you do. An experience that you went through, or that someone else went through and you want to let people know.
