Emily Dickinson?


People ask me what I'm going to teach the boys on the ranch.  One answer is that many things will teach themselves...like Emily Dickinson.

Out here, I feel myself
Surrounded by Emily Dickinson - 
her Metaphors - exploding all around -

Her flowers - her bees,
Her sunsets - her trees!
the family, she held so Dear -
the Death, she couldn't bear - 

All fresh as Morning dew,
A Sunday hymn, in a Polished pew.
