Mobile Photography – Saturday Poetry -‘ I Dwell in Possibility’ by Emily Dickinson
I am introducing a new section, simply titled, Saturday Poetry. Each Saturday I will publish a poem and I will also try to link a mobile photography image, that has been uploaded to our Instagram hashtag #theappwhisperer during the week.
Today, I am publising ‘I Dwell in Possibility’ by Emily Dickinson. Much has been written about this poem, esseintally it means that the opportunties she has in life are endless. It is an optimistic poem about what she can dream and accomplish.

I dwell in Possibility –
A fairer House than Prose –
More numerous of Windows –
Superior – for Doors –
Of Chambers as the Cedars –
Impregnable of eye –
And for an everlasting Roof
The Gambrels of the Sky –
Of Visitors – the fairest –
For Occupation – This –
The spreading wide my narrow Hands
To gather Paradise –
