Emily Dickinson’s poems transcend time and (our) understanding. Their profound beauty lies in the meanings left between the lines—and hyphens.

Dare to see—

Beauty within Self

Through the Summer Sky.

A bumblebee:

Somewhere from the Soul

Love speaks of Spring.

Perhaps,

If thoughts were like a bird—

Paradise would wait.

    Female writers like her paved the way for women today to be able to do what we love and not have to hide behind a male pen name. A great nod to a great woman.
