Wednesday’s poetry corner.



I'm Nobody! Who Are You

By Emily Dickinson.

I'm nobody! Who are you?

Are you nobody, too?

Then there's a pair of us--don't tell!

They'd banish us, you know.

How dreary to be somebody!

How public, like a frog

To tell your name the livelong day

To an admiring bog!

This was taken from http://www.cswnet.com/~erin/edpoem.htm#nobody

I was actually looking for her poem, “If I can stop one heart from breaking.” A poem I have always liked, when I came upon this one and decided to share it with you instead. Moreover, if you add the letter l to the last word it makes the poem even more appropriate for all of us bloggers. I hope you enjoy the poetry.
