“Saying nothing…sometimes says the most.” – Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson was very shy and did not have many friends. Instead of visiting people or talking to them, she liked to write letters. She also liked to write poems. Her poems were different than those written by most people. She wrote in very short lines. She also made up her own grammar rules, and used capital letters, periods and commas in strange places. Sometimes she gave her poems titles and sometimes she did not.
While she was still alive, she did not share her poetry with many people. Only a few of her poems were published. But when she died, her family found many, many poems they never knew about, and has them printed in books and magazines. When people read her poems, some thought there were some of the best poems ever written. They began teaching her peoms to school children, who still learn some of her work today.
