Emily Dickinson

My posts lately have been nothing but videos so i thought i'd switch tings up a little bit.We've been doing poetry in writing class these past few days and im really starting to get into it.heres a really good poem by emily dickinson.

DEATH IS A DIALOGUE BETWEEN (1924)

DEATH is a dialogue between
The spirit and the dust.
“Dissolve,” says Death. The Spirit, “Sir,
I have another trust.”

Death doubts it, argues from the ground.
The Spirit turns away,
Just laying off, for evidence,
An overcoat of clay.
