A Book Poem by Emily Dickinson

A Book

Rating: 3.6


There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!

Hey. I love baguettes. I am married to a baguette, so it's totally normal to feel attracted to a horse. After all, love has no limits!
