A haiku.

Euphonic stanzas
Meet daily expression —
Timeless magic

Featured poem

A ballad for the last day. Take the floor, Emily!

Real

by Emily Dickinson

I like a look of agony,
Because I know it's true;
Men do not sham convulsion,
Nor simulate a throe.

The eyes glaze once, and that is death.
Impossible to feign
The beads upon the forehead
By homely anguish strung.
