Emily Dickinson Poems

I have read through the four Emily Dickinson poems and they stood out to me because of the style that she has when she writes. To me, the descriptions she uses are very interesting. For example, poem number 377 which, in my opinion, is explaining the distance between the living and the dead; she uses lines like "under the beetles cellar" and "over the comet's chimney". The lines she uses are clever and descriptive which i like. Emily's other poem that i read and enjoyed was about the contrast between the dead and the living. Poem number 375 is talking about graves and coffins being so small and restricted, yet containing deceased people that had long, telling lives. This is what I took from her poems.
