A New Direction

I've started getting into poetry and literature over the last few weeks and though that I would share some of my findings with you. Poetry, especially, has always been a love of mine. Mostly because it requires me to dig deep to understand what's being said. I'm not one of those people who can immediately grasp all the imagery and subtleties that lie within a poem. So here's a poem by one of my favorites, Emily Dickinson. I thought this would be a good one to start off with.

There is no frigate like a book
by Emily Dickinson

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!
