ASLEEP. By: Emily Dickonson As far from pity as complaint, As cool to speech as stone, As numb to revelation As if my trade were bone. As far from time as history, As near yourself to-day As children to the rainbow's scarf, Or sunset's yellow play To eyelids in the sepulcher. How still the dancer lies, While color's revelations break, And blaze the butterflies!
I chose this poem because I think it short but really deep and full of meaning. It really uses words well and it also shows lots of good poetic devices. I really thought this poem was a good choice. Poetic devices: End rhyme example: day/play and Metaphors example: As far from time as history.
