Poem of the Day , 2 - 15

He fought like those Who ' ve nought to lose
by Emily Dickinson

He fought like those Who ' ve nought to lose
Bestowed Himself to Balls
As One who for a further Life
Had not a further Use

Invited Death with bold attempt
But Death was Coy of Him
As Other Men , were Coy of Death
To Him to live was Doom

His Comrades , shifted like the Flakes
When Gusts reverse the Snow
But He was left alive Because
Of Greediness to die

B'ham,
I adore Emily Dickinson . I just saw a new biography of her life in the New Nonfiction section of the library , but it was about 600 pages , and since I already had four books , I passed on it this time .

I ' ll read it later .

In THE WESTERN CANON , she is considered the greatest American woman poet , and one of the greatest American poets , period .

Not bad for a little reclude from New England who never had a thing published until after her death !

RTF !
