I have been so inspired by all the bloggers at Clear River, I decided to give it a try.

Did you know.....

.....that most of what Emily Dickinson wrote (and she wrote 1775 poems) can be sung to the tune of The Yellow Rose of Texas? Check it out, and soon you, too, can be singing your favorite Dickinson poem!! Try it!! Here's one of my favorites:

There is no Frigate like a Book

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 the Human soul.
