Emily
Such your parents
Appropriately named thee
Aemilius meaning rival
It's origin being Roman and medieval
Describing one industrious and eager
Certainly not a people pleaser
Considering your reclusive nature
And social restrictions
To uphold your secluded space
Nevertheless such was needful
That historically you might earn
Your poetic place
Not always does one aspire
To social grace
Yet your inner life was rich
Increasingly sweet
Apart from people
You felt complete
Miss Dickinson darling
You are far from a nobody
Your passion for uplifting somebody
Brought your writings to humanity
Whereby you've achieved immortality
You healed broken hearts
By no means was your life
Spent in vain
Certainly your manner of life
In lieu of your accomplishments
None can disdain
At home you cheered mother
Ba ked for father
And worked in the garden
All the while cultivating
Within your own heart Eden
A reservoir of experience and emotion
To which later in life
You would give your devotion
Sadly your heart ached with pain
When Austin and Vinnie left for school
And Reverend Wadsworth enamored you
The Rev a married man
Was the wrong one for you
Nevertheless morally you kept the rule
Like a girl raised in seminary
You chose friendship not adultery
A choice that led to your legacy
As you began writing incessantly
Loneliness did not get the best of thee
On the contrary Emily
You mastered it wonderfully
Higginson was deluded by your difference
Which ultimately was your brilliance
Thankfully you showed no hesitance
But stayed true to your essence
Your poems self-soothing
Identifying with humanity
And deeply moving
Never stopping
Hope in your soul always perching
The life that you thought
Would never come again
Through your writings
Has repeatedly shined
On the hearts of men
In writing you lived
In living you did rejoice
By dwelling in possibilities
You uplifted your voice
A voice of liberation
Understanding human sorrow
By choosing the path of humility
You escaped societal monotony
Being daily made dreary
By excessive recognition
Preferring alternatively
Thy own inspiration
You gave birth
To literary innovation
Out of obscurity
Your poems came
When Lavinia and Martha
Gave your writings fame
Publishing your work
Brought glory to your name
Indeed Emily
The fog is truly rising
After which there shall come
A great awakening!
