"Hope" is the thing with feathers By: Emily Dickinson
Hope is referred to as a bird. It is free like a bird. Hope perches in our soul like a bird perches on something. The hope sings songs with no words and is what makes people move forward striving for new things and trying new things. Sometimes a "storm", something bad that is happened to us, can make us give up on hope. In the last two lines it talks about no matter what hope will never ask anything in return from you.
"I like a look of Agony" By Emily Dickinson
This poem talks about how Agony is something that you can not fake. It is a feeling that people feel and can't hide it. A lot of people show fake feeling to people for many reasons, but this is one feeling that will take over you and you have no other choice but to show it. It talks about people coming close to death and the agony that come over them because they know they cant fight death forever, death will eventually win.
"Much Madness is divinest Sense" By Emily Dickinson
I really enjoyed this poem because a lot of people think this way. This poem is about someone who is boldly honest and always tells the brutal truth. The discerning eye is talking about everyone that looks at that person like they are crazy. People can't believe that he or she just told the truth, it wasn't sugar coated to protect someones feelings. The majority thinks "much sense" common sense or someone who is really smart is "madness" or crazy. It's telling us that people who say they are crazy are not and the people who say they are not crazy are. The last line talks about the crazy people are handle chains which I think means they kept them on a short leash and punish them.
"After a great pain, a formal feeling comes" By Emily Dickinson
This poem is about the emotional state that someone goes through while dealing with death. The second line is talking about your body just becoming numb to any emotion. You are in a state of shock. Then you begin questioning yourself and the events that happened. Your body begins you move all by itself you don't realize what your doing but you function on a daily basis. Your body is so stiff like a rock. Then after a while you begin to get back to life and realize you got through it even though you didn't think it was possible. The last line of the poem is a list of the grieving process.
"Fire and Ice" By Robert Frost
This poem is about how people think the world will end. Some say it will end in fire. I think fire means wars, Hell, and burning. People are so angry these days about everything. Nobody is just happy living life. Others think it will end in Ice. Ice to me means cold, no feelings or involvement with people, isolating ourselves from everyone and dying alone. He states he knows enough hate that ice would work too. Which I think means if burning in hatred wasn't going to happen then being isolated from everybody would be ok.
