Nothing from me.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyy people!!!!!!

This is not gonna be one of my poems...unfortunatly. Because I know you love them. So I want to upset you. No I don't. I'm kidding. Relax!

Naaaa. This is basically about a poet who's poems I have recently fallen in LOVE with. Her name is Emily Dickinson.

Emily Dickinson. She. Is. Amazing.

She was an American poet, born 10th December 1830. Her poetry, in my opinion, and I'm sure, in the opinion of maaaaany other poetry freaks (such as me =]) is absolutly amazing. The few that I have found time to read have been great, and I enjoy reading her work. My favorite has GOT got be 'because I could not stop for death'. 

I first heard a small bit of the poem on the television programme 'Torchwood'. (Yes. I like Torchwood. And Doctor Who. They own.) I liked the verse I heard from the moment I heard it, and, not immensly long ago, I read the whole poem. Ever since that has been my favorite poem, not just of hers, but of all the poems I've read. Granted, I havn't read millions, or even hundreds, but I am studying anthology. I may not be the best critic of poetry, but I can sure favortise this one. This is the poem:

Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality.

We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
And I had put away
My labour, and my leisure too,
For his civility.

We passed the school where children played,
Their lessons scarcely done;
We passed the fields of gazing grain,
We passed the setting sun.

We paused before a house that seemed
A swelling of the ground;
The roof was scarcely visible,
The cornice but a mound.

Since then 'tis centuries; but each
Feels shorter than the day
I first surmised the horses' heads
Were toward eternity.

Like I said. Amazing. I've read a few more of her poems, but I stick to this being my favorite. Her works are worth a read.

Alot of people don't like poetry and think that it's not worth reading, or that it's boring, or that it makes you 'uncool' to read it. Well, here I'm making my own cool. Poetry is a form of art, and its a way of expression. I express myself through poetry. Alot of people write diaries, that's not concidered uncool, it's just a way of not bottling it all up. Same with poetry for me. Poems have a meaning, just like artwork. Finding the meaning is up to you. I like reading poems because you can take then any way you want or can. I like to do the same with mine. I don't like telling people what they are about, because I'd prefer people to read it and think they can relate to it. Even if they don't understand it and cannot relate to it, I still want people to think, 'wow'.

Now, my poems are nothing compared to Emily dickinsons. Let's face it. Her name is known, mine's not. Besides that, I can't write half as well as her. But I can use her as an idol. Someone to look up to and think that I want to be able to write like her. So I do. And I truely think Emily Dickinson is brilliant. =]

Thanks for reading this guys. Sorry I didn't put any of my stuff up, I just thought I should share where some of my inspiration comes from, and give her a mention as one of the reasons I carry on writing poetry.

I hope this hasn't bored you all too much. I've now posted 2 blogs with alot of writing. Sorry ...

Maybe the next one wont be so bad, but until then ... Have a good evening =]

Kbye. =]
