"I dwell in Possibility" (466) by Emily Dickinson

To both make up for my recent lack of poetry posts and to make the most of Women's History Month before it's over, I'm imposing a new theme- poems by women. Not super unique but super exciting! And who better to keep Women's History Month moving along but Emily Dickinson? That's okay. I couldn't think of anyone else either...


I dwell in Possibility (466)
by Emily Dickinson

I dwell in Possibility –
A fairer House than Prose –
More numerous of Windows –
Superior – for Doors –

Of Chambers as the Cedars –
Impregnable of eye –
And for an everlasting Roof
The Gambrels of the Sky –

Of Visitors – the fairest –
For Occupation – This –
The spreading wide my narrow Hands
To gather Paradise –
