This past month I found my favorite poem and it is called Nautre Is What We See by Emily Dickenson. This poem would have to be
my favorite poem because Dickenson it gives us a different perspective on the
extensiveness of nature. Dickenson makes us think about how we perceive nature
ourselves, what we hear, what we see, and finally what we know and how little
it is compared to its full meanings. This poem yet short is packed with
literary meaning, imagery with pictures and sound, metaphors comparing the
sound of a little cricket and the roar of thunder, two very different things,
and diction the way she uses Nay, as “nature” is one of her friends. Everyone
should ask themselves these questions and interpret them for themselves after reading the poem. I also really like DIckensons poetry she has a very calming effect on my mind, she makes things so relaxing. Her imadgery is very vivid and beautiful.

This poem seems to put nature in a different prospective then what we are used to. Sometimes we literally don't take time to stop and smell the roses. It shows that we don't always appreciate nature to its fullest potential and maybe we should pay more attention to the aspects of nature.
