__Memory Poem: __
She's more than a memory more than just a friend something like my sister, we could always relate she is my shadow in the dark sometimes closer than blood though i miss chillin with her on those warm new york nights im so proud of everything she has become I'll put her before anyone.

__Ode: __ I can't go a day without you. To wake youup I simply tap. I must keep you near or I for sure will die. You have become an essential part of me. You are there when I wake up and fall asleep. I need you to walk down the hallways with me.

__Riff: __ I never want to minus you I'm starting to realize that I need you. I see your face in strangers on the street And in the lime light I play it off fine. But I can't handle it when I turn off my nightlight You're my other half, my better half which makes you perfect for me.



__I was raised by: __ //**I was raised under the bright lights of New York**// //**Where all you have is a pocket full of dreams and a cup full of opportunity.**// //**Where you travel alone and depend on no one but yourself.**// //**Except the few people who grew up with you the one's you trust with your life.**// //**Those few that will never let you down.**// //**But one day you leave, leave the place you know so well.**// //**To enter a whole new world with all new faces and many new backgrounds to explore**// //**new environments that open new doors**// //**I admire where I came from because it made me who I am today.**// __Detailed Study ____: __ ** Emily Dickinson //♥// ** Emily Dickenson is an inspiration and is very repetitive. But that’s what makes her so unique, she expresses herself by using metaphors and descriptive words that doesn’t seem like normal everyday language. She has the type of poetry that you can’t read only once and understand it you have to read it at least twice in order to understand it. “If I should die, and you should live, and time should gurgle on, and morn should beam, and noon should burn, as it has usual done;” This is one of many of her famous poems she is known for. Her love for poetry is shown by how she writes and the way she expresses herself
 * //The opinionated, strong minded women with a future and goals//**
 * //i'll always love where i came from//**
 * //a city so bold//**
 * //every one should love where they grew up//**
 * //no matter how old .//**

While Emily Dickenson is an inspirational writer, her work is also highly repetitive. Her style of writing is unique due to the fact that she expresses her world using metaphors and very precise, descriptive language, which stands out from your everyday speech. Her poems reveal deeper meanings to simple things, in order to fully comprehend the mind of Ms. Dickenson, you have to see through eyes, not of your own, or maybe re read her work several times. “If I should die, and you should live, and time should gurgle on, and morn should beam, and noon should burn, as it has usual done;” this is an excerpt from one of the many famous poem by Emily Dickenson titled “If I Should Die”. At first, the language seems like a foreign mess of poetic sludge, but when you look closer, you realize that she is talking about how beautiful it is that the world will live on even if she is not in it; “'Tis sweet to know that stocks will stand when we with daisies lie.” Her outlook on life can be seen through the deep and sometimes grim words of her poetry. Ms. Dickenson uses rich, complex metaphors that leave you wanting more. 

Sonnet: If the sky falls. do we die? If the war came here would we run? If you failed everything you did Would you ever attempt anything? If someone told you you couldn't Would you prove them wrong ? If someone told you no Would you keep trying? If people change like the seasons Should you remain the same? If no one believed in you Would you still believe in yourself?
