They shut me up in Prose – (445)

By: Emily Dickson

They shut me up I Prose –

As when a little Girl

They put me in a Closet –

Because they liked me “still” –

Still! Could themselves have peeped –

And seen my Brain – go round –

They might wise have lodged a Bird

For Treason- in the Pound –

Himself has but to will

And easy as a Star

Look down upon Captivity –

And laugh – No more have I –

I like the patt where Emily states they could have seen her brain. It was very good imagery
