Sad Love Poetry by Emily Dickinson

Many know Emily Dickinson for her famous love poetry. However, many don't realize that her poems aren't always about happy times. Actually, many of her poems are about her broken heart. We call this "sad love poetry" to the effect which the poems are about love that has saddened her.

Some of Dickinson's best work is of this variety. Not only does she speak from her heart, but she speaks of how it was broken using every emotion in her body. This is what separates the great poets from the good poets.

While others are reading Dickinson's other works, I am reading her sad love poetry.
