Emily Dickensons 2 poems

"Hope is everything with feathers"

The poem talks about lifes hope in the mids of trouble.Everyone could relate that feather symbolizes hope.It also gives you the belief that life is sweet despite all the trials.

"I heard a fly buzz when I died"

The poem talks about her death,and a mind that still awake.The silence of the room makes her feel that there is a fly buzz.

Step-by-step explanation

I came up with that answer reading through her poems she writes words and meaning very smoothly,but somewhere in the midst of the poem there are contradiction to each lines.example:

Sweetest in the gale is heard and sore must be the stom.

In simplifying these words gale meaning its astrong wind.How can a strong wind be sweetest? it doesnt fit.

Next one woukd be the line from I heard a fly buzz.in this poem it talks about death and a mind that is still awake.what contradicts here is the line that says:

:Eyes around had wrung them dry and breaths were gathering fine for the last on set."these lines defeats the title itself.

Emily Dickenson poems are very meaningful,but it also has the non comformity in some lines making her adopt some stance from the outsiders this makes her poems unique make the readers think more deeply.
