The dead have no feelings and no cares anytime of year.

This poem can bring comfort to people morning, letting them know the dead is always around them no matter where they are.


Dickinson, Emily. "I measure every Grief I meet."American Poems . N.p., 1955. Web. 16 May 2011. <http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15394>.

Grief can stem from many things. People judge others grief to either fell better or worse about their own grief.

This poem may help people grieving realize their subconscious actions. People grieving over a death want to assume they are always the person in the room with the most grief when really they might not be.

Dickinson, Emily. "I had no time to Hate." American Poems . N.p., 1955. Web. 16 May 2011. <http://www.americanpoems.com/poets/emilydickinson/10430>.

Life is short so before you die don’t hate; try to love.

I feel this poem can help people think positively about the deaths of their loved ones. It tells people to not feel hateful at the grave of the person your seeing feel love for the persons life.

The recently passed should not stop a family from talking about them better yet it they should keep that person alive through the good times that person brought them.

This poem could be very beneficial to people who feel that they cant talk about the love ones that passed. The poem may open a door for people to feel as if the person they lost is still in their life.

If we can make a difference in a life we will not live in vain.

This poem could be the thoughts of a funeral director. When I read this poem I felt like these thoughts would run through a funeral directors minds when reflecting on why they do what they do.

Dickinson, Emily. "It is an honorable Thought."American Poems . N.p., 1955. Web. 16 May 2011. <http://www.americanpoems.com/poets/emilydickinson/10898>.

We have come up with stores that make us immortal even though nothing is immortal in our world. We see thing get old and die everyday.

This poem made me think of the people that can’t accept death for what it is. This could lead people to understand life can never be immortal.

Dickinson, Emily. " It struck me -- every Day."American Poems . N.p., 1955. Web. 16 May 2011. <http://www.americanpoems.com/poets/emilydickinson/10314>.

The pain of morning a love one never goes away. It can re-open like a scab at any time.

This poem describes how many people go through the mooring process when they have lost a loved one. Many people feel they can get over a loss but truly it lives on with them. This may help morning people to realize that the pain can last forever and therefore manage it better.

  1. I thought that the "I had no time to hate" poem had the best message because it was the most positve. The other poems only gave views in a negative tone even if they seemed to have a positive message.
