Emily Dickinson
The first word that comes to mind when describing Emily Dickinson and her poems is 'Unique'. You always know when you're reading a Dickinson poem because it is creative beyond measure, sensitive and always unique to her. Like her, you have a large curiosity regarding the nature of things, even things others may not like to think of. You are unique and creative, more of an introvert than an extrovert but not extremely so. You enjoy your peace of mind because you enjoy musing and pondering about the world, letting that imagination and curiosity mesh together and create splendidly interesting thoughts in your mind.
