The+poems+are+short...and+have+titles+related+to+death+(creepy)

Ok so I was briefly looking through some of Emily Dickinson's poems today during class and I couldn't help but notice the majority of her poems are incredibly short.

The one we read today in class, "Because I could not stop for Death", is 24 lines which is extremely short compared to other poems during her time, however I saw that some others were around 10 lines. I don't think poem length matters as long as you get across what you wanted to, or get out the emotions/thoughts you wanted to, etc.

A trend I also noticed with Dickinson is that many of her poem titles relate to loss or death. I understand that she was a introverted person, but that's how she chose to be. It seems that through her poem titles alone you could see how lonely she really got at times. 1202868301
