A 7-year-old's reflections on Emily Dickinson

Last night, having finally gotten her room clean, The Girl received this book as a prize (I know, right?).

Some of her reflections:

-I like the two page poems.
-I really like the first one, "I'm nobody! Who are you?"
Dickinson writes differently than some other poets you like. She describes ideas more and tells stories less.
-Yeah, I still like Samuel Taylor Coleridge best.

And there you have it. She's seven and prefers Coleridge to Dickinson, but happily reads either at length.
