April Tuesday

“I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word. Sometimes I write one, and look at it, until it shines.” – Emily Dickinson

On this April Tuesday, I would like to share a poem by Emily Dickinson. I like to think that Emily carefully watched a garden robin, many April days ago.

Happy writing fellow poets and creatives, Sx

The Robin is the One
That interrupt the Morn
With hurried—few—express Reports
When March is scarcely on—

The Robin is the One
That overflow the Noon
With her cherubic quantity—
An April but begun—

The Robin is the One
That speechless from her Nest
Submit that Home—and Certainty
And Sanctity, are best

Emily Dickinson
