Writing+an+Emily+Dickinson+poem

I think writing an Emily Dickinson poem is a challange. Most of her poems were a dark comparison in two worlds. Her world and the world outside. The style she has is in tune with herself. Her style is also a da DUM da DUM rythum that uses a four line stanza. I think writing a poem like that is a challenge because its her own and having to copy something that someone else made is always harder.

I also, find writing in the same sense of Dickinson's style //was// and still is quite hard. When I tried to write my poem in comparison to hers I realized that there was much more to think about then rhyme scheme. I had to have the same beat and rhythm while writing this. Also, I had to use vocabulary that I obviously wouldn't choose to say on a regular daily basis. The criteria for these poems is overall difficult to comprehend and I've noticed that others writers both of our time and hers, don't even bother to use the same way of style Dickinson chose to write on. I've noticed too, how Dickinson has used to the same length and number of lines within her stanzas. perhaps it's a symbolization of something else she'd like to show through her writings. Regardless, if her poems are short or long, they both show the same amount of gradual meaning.1204242580

Im exceptionally glad someone made a topic about this. Although Dickinson was a great poet, it was extremely hard to write a poem in her style! The hardest aspect was the line scheme that was either 3-3-43 or 4-3-4-3. I didn't realize how hard that actually was till I started my Dickinson style poem, the lines couldn't be to long which was tough for me. The rhyming was surprisingly not that hard considering only the 2nd and 4th line of each stanza had to rhyme. Also, what was really hard was how Dickinson compared things, me and my partner couldn't even think of something to compare in our poem, so we just made sure we did the line schemes right and rhymed it good, which eventually turned out good even though it took forever. I really respect Dickinson as a poet, and Im not putting her down at all by this post, rather im saying she was such an intellectual being that it was hard for us simple students to put together a good Dickinson style poem, although im sure some students were able to succeed, I guarantee it wasnt easy for everyone though. 1204254292

I agree with joey because this is a great topic to talk about and i like writing about this. I think it is so hard for us to write poems like her because she was indeed a great poet and none of our poems will compare to her good poems. Her styles were weird and like we said in class, people did not get them during her age of poetry. I feel bad for her because she had to live poor and she could have made so much money if the people of her time would have realized how great she really was. Shame on them. I think both 3-3-4-3 and 4-3-4-3 are both complicated and hard because most things are longer than 4 beats and it makes it really hard to make the poem catchy. She had like 4 different ways of writing with beats and they were the 2 above, abcb and the..... i forgot the others name but it is were you ryme every now and agian in your poem. Her being different is what made her great i think. 1204258803
