Tributes for Emily
(Emily Dickinson)
To tend our Father's gardens,
And to taste a stamen sweet
(Is) before the weather hardens,
And to savor harvest reaped.
____
The purple stitch of amethyst,
Contrary to the Autumn moon,
Beguiles the clouds asunder,
Who succumb to swoon of thunder.
____
If tears would pause the Destinies
When thine is fated next,
Remember, Death arrives in threes,
As trill and quavered sent.

Author's Note
My admiration of Emily Dickinson and the little short poems she'd write, like pictures drawn quickly in the soft dirt of a garden. This is what I have done in this set of three. Enjoy.

She was on of my favorites. These do her justice. Excellent work. I'm particularly fond of the first. 📝❤
