Poetry: Dickinson: Wild Nights - Wild Nights (269)

Guess who has two thumbs and bought a used copy of collected poems of Dickinson for 50 cents at an elementary school Spring Fair this weekend? This gal!

Wild nights - Wild nights! by Emily Dickinson


Wild nights - Wild nights!
Were I with thee
Wild nights should be
Our luxury!

Futile - the winds -
To a Heart in port -
Done with the Compass -
Done with the Chart!

Rowing in Eden -
Ah - the Sea!
Might I but moor - tonight -
In thee!

An excellent purchase!

Right? I was very pleased. I also got Jo Nesbo's The Snowman (I was thinking maybe I could do a Harry Hole, which is the detective, for 100 fandoms) and a Mary (meaning the mother of Jesus)colouring book. And a book for Minisculus. It was a very varied haul for $2.
