Poem response:

Emily Dickinson's poem "This Is My Letter to the World" is in the form of a letter which is the perfect metaphor to communicate her desired messages. She desired to pass on the messages which nature imparted her with. This desire to convey worldy principles was very strange, especially for a woman in this time era. This meant Emily Dickinson was way ahead of her time, which is probably the reason her poems were only published after her death. Her poem incepts two images in the reader's mind; the abstract image of Nature and the concrete image of the letter.

Poem:

Dicated but not read You know not I have said

My message? Is with me You cannot see
