Emily Dickinson's Volcano poems

The reticent volcano keeps
On my volcano grows the grass
Volcanoes be in Sicily
When Etna basks and purrs
I have never seen "Volcanoes"

I also like her bat and mushroom poems:

The bat is dun with wrinkled wings
The mushroom is the elf of plants

And of course there are so many about worms and snakes.

  { COMMENTS }

Caterina,

Emily is one of my all time favorite poets. She also has alot of poems about gardens, like the one below:

***
New feet within my garden go,
New fingers stir the sod;
A troubadour upon the elm
Betrays the solitude.

New children play upon the green,
New weary sleep below;
And still the pensive spring returns,
And still the punctual snow!
***

By the way thanks for such a great site! I read it religiously! Don't let those spammers get the best of you!
Take care and read you soon!

Cheers from sometimes sunny Spain,

Kevin (A.K.A. Exoiste)

Caterina-maybe you should think about finding a server that will delete spam for you. I think yahoo has a program. Emily is one of my least favorite poets: althought I love the bustle in the house the morning after death, and since I could not stop for death so death stopped for me. But, For the most part I say this, "She wrote poems only to amuse herself, and succeeded. (Sorry about the dreadful spelling and grammar, they don't teach in school anymore.)

If I have to face the music ,I like to see the orchestra.
The cemetery is full of gravestones , but occasionally you meet a poet.
Once the cats and dogs are instilled,they become installed.

the letters sent to love of mine
have lost its freshness,nonetheless
it wasnt fothe lack of trying
which cawses me minor distress.

if they are bad,or worse still old
my lover will destroy them.then
when winter starts and sky is cold
the freshness will appear again.
