Post #3 for National Poetry Month. I would be remiss if I did not highlight Emily Dickinson. There are several of hers I like, but one of my favorites is “Because I Could Not Stop for Death”.
Fun Fact regarding her poems. In one of my exams in a college Literature classes we were given a set of poems and we had to identify the poet who wrote it. The trick to identifying a Dickinson poem was that most of hers can be sung to the tune of “Amazing Grace.” Likewise, her poems and “Amazing Grace” can also be sung to the tune of “The Yellow Rose of Texas” and the theme song of “Gilligan’s Island.” Hope I have successfully planted an ear worm in each of your brains for the day. You’re Welcome.
