The Fact, not the Understanding
If any sink, assure that this, now standing—
Failed like Themselves—and conscious that it rose—
Grew by the Fact, and not the Understanding
How Weakness passed—or Force—arose—
Tell that the Worst, is easy in a Moment—
Dread, but the Whizzing, before the Ball—
When the Ball enters, enters Silence—
Dying—annuls the power to kill.
Failed like Themselves—and conscious that it rose—
Grew by the Fact, and not the Understanding
How Weakness passed—or Force—arose—
Tell that the Worst, is easy in a Moment—
Dread, but the Whizzing, before the Ball—
When the Ball enters, enters Silence—
Dying—annuls the power to kill.
- Emily Dickinson, Death and resurrection

do you like writing poetry, too?

From time to time....
There are many reasons why one should write poetry...
But it is difficult for me to write it, especially in english. Not my native language!
So, the most I do write in english is some prose-like poetry. No way to get verses right ^^
