Bluestocking Dickinson -
a prattler, and lewd like a
mourning dove.
Yet, the deathwatch beetle,
and time - the bone of my contention.
And dewy eyes of a dunderhead,
reveal the wanton breadth,
of my awry tête-à-tête.
But, Maiden’s poesies are curt
and misdeemed,
like the damask rose bush.
Author notes
I know this starts almost like an insult to Miss Dickinson, but that isn't the concluding message, as she's my favourite poetess of all time. I'm not explaining the entire poem, but it's about being misunderstood.
Please leave suggestions for improvement.

No I did get that it was a flairing tribute to her touch, for this elegy has the air of her work, that raw emotive feeling of her wording ways. I like the metaphors you have imployed here a very nice touch indeed! Well done I think.--Robert

The readers will only take what they want on the day and I am pleased you added you author notes....any poem should stand alone and even without your notes this poem does just that..the imagery flows with ease from the page... brilliantly penned and I thank you for the pleasure of the read.

This is so amazing and stunning.
This is absolutely beautiful, Very well thought out and polished to high perfection. Brilliant piece my friend! loved the form and flow and the rhythm and rhyme are dead on. Captivating piece from start to finish. Don't put down that pen! I love this so much. Keep up the killer work, take care and good luck. -
I really don't see where it could be improved upon. I enjoyed it in its entirety. Thank you for sharing this wonderful write with us.

I enjoyed the language and imagery of your poem very much, it is open to interpretation and so I can easily relate to it in my own way. Well done on a very good write.
