I was ready to kill something after reading this poem

I would like to spend one of my "personal" blogs talking about the ridiculous-ness of Emily Dickinson. After reading this depressing and mind boggling I went to Wikipedia to look up Emily (alias Ima Creeper). Did you know that of the hundred of poems that Emily wrote only a couple were published in her lifetime because her poems didn't follow her time periods (the 18th century) poems. For example her poems had short lines, typically lacked a title, she used slant rhyme AND she capitalized to many words. I think these 18th century publishers were onto something. If it wasn't for English I would never EVER waste my time with Miss Dickinson
