Calligram

Calligram!

For my calligram I decided to do a bird, with the poem "A bird came down the walk" by Emily Dickinson. It was a lot of fun to do this project, i got to get creative following a poem i liked very much! Est. time: 3 hours

A Bird, came down the Walk - (359)

BY EMILY DICKINSON

A Bird, came down the Walk - 

He did not know I saw -

He bit an Angle Worm in halves 

And ate the fellow, raw, 

 

And then, he drank a Dew

From a convenient Grass -

And then hopped sidewise to the Wall 

To let a Beetle pass -

 

He glanced with rapid eyes,

That hurried all abroad -

They looked like frightened Beads, I thought,

He stirred his Velvet Head. - 

 

Like one in danger, Cautious,

I offered him a Crumb,

And he unrolled his feathers, 

And rowed him softer Home -

 

Than Oars divide the Ocean,

Too silver for a seam,

Or Butterflies, off Banks of Noon, 

Leap, plashless as they swim.
