A Man May Make A Remark Poem by Emily Dickinson

.......very observant and a wonderful write..

this sounds like a riddle...I fail to make it out...but Emily, your poems are always magical- 10

Language has a power to change and alter states of being, even a remark that sounds like a throw away quip, can have a power of lightning if taken the wrong way. Another fabulous observation from one of the greatest poets of the medium.

A very apt warning to those constantly beating the war drums!

Powder exists in Charcoal— Before it exists in Fire.... meaningful inscription. Beautifully composed by Emily Dickinson.

Powder exists in Charcoal before it exists in fire. Words have power to ignite fire.....yes lets all be sensible.....

So short yet so succinct! A poem of the day full of wisdom!

For her time in the middle of the 19th Century she was highly innovative.

Let us deport—with skill— Let us discourse—with care— Powder exists in Charcoal— Before it exists in Fire////superb poem, really thought provoking

A great thought provoking poem, profound and nicely composed.
