Emily Dickinson

Great American poetess, Emily
Belonging to Amherst family

Her childhood free from each hazard
Not in the least would look her haggard

But there was none who could presage
Because of gobbled up beverage

When she reached the age of puberty
Of love she took the liberty

Her beloved, Susan caused her torment
To remain reclusive and dormant

Her intrigue was queer and to haunt
Which was dangerous like white-ant

Great tragedy happened by a preacher
In her Philadelphia excursion faced treacher

Seven poems published in her lifetime
These were enough as treasure prime

At length she met an end of life
That was indeed full of strife

She had secluded existence
Death of father made her tense

This seclusion proved perdition
Unfulfilled was her ambition
