I Wonder what Dickinson Thought

I wonder what Dickinson thought

when told her writing was awful

Shy girl filled with a universe

of words to contemplate the world

I wonder who judged her

but can imagine his motives

She didn't realize her talent

or know that it threatened his

Perhaps it was a divine gift

the best are taken too soon

Charles Dickenson? Eh?
It is morbid to end as a writer,
A good fellow, an authentic pen/pencil/type
A fellow just died and wrote to me to read little birds
I haven't gone to it, but I feel sad, bec
I love his writing, :D --maynard

Talented people are the most strick judges of their own work, always questioning themselves whether they arrived at capturing at least a glimpse of inspiration that lured in their mind, or, maybe, the hand was too weary

Likely often editing, revealing, and hiding those written fragments of themselves. I wonder what she might've become had she stepped into her own power and understood not to let others drag her down

[Kim S.]

She was a misunderstood poet, her creativeness was simply remarkable,
she was ahead of her time, in my opinion. Her poetic style was unique
and amazing...

[AMMD]

She truly was gifted. The writing she left is a gift
