A WORD IS DEAD
The poem by Emily Dickinson is similar to a message, short but surely effective. Devices like repetition and alliteration do an attention to contrasting nouns, dead and live. In the poem remainded words focus on the meaning, a different consideration of creating speech. Whili for common people a word is dead and lost as soon as it is pronounced, for the poet only in that moment it starts its existence. While common people waste words not giving them any importance, the poet sees words as the expression of her feelings. I have the same ideal meaning of words, they document my inner world which escapes out when I write them in my poems.
