Guest Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 As you can tell, I like Dickinson's riddle/metaphor poems. Though a little harder than "I Like to See it Lap the Miles," what does this one describe? A Route of Evanescence With a revolving Wheel-- A Resonance of Emerald-- A Rush of Cochineal-- And every Blossom on the Bush Adjusts its tumbled Head-- The mail from Tunis, probably, An easy Morning's Ride-- Definitions of words: evanescence- blurred or faded resonance- loud cochineal- a ruby color Tunis- city in Africa A hummingbird.
