Legacy of Emily Dickinson

Lore of legend raise
Gifted poet’s praise
The creative source
For poetry’s course

Solitude inviting
Recluse for writing
Pinning away alone
Set the poet’s tone

Life of isolation
Denied recognition
The myth has last
Recluse of Amherst cast

Success later came
In posthumous fame
Her poetry is left
To speak for itself

As legends grow old
A story left untold
By the poetry creation
Legacy of Emily Dickinson
