Muse Photo Prompt

Open music creativity.....please bring in a musical piece of your choice to share with the class.
As a child did you play musical chairs? It's a game that requires one less chair than those playing. While music plays, participants walk around the chairs all going the same direction. When the music stops (at random intervals) everyone scurries to capture a chair. Last one standing is out and a chair is removed and the game is played again until one chair remains and one participant has claimed it when the music stops. For today'S class, we'll turn to our music for a musical prompt much like this game.

" To have great poets, there must be great audiences" ----Walt Whitman
Take one of the topics expressed in Dickinson's poems, such as "Death" picking up a rider to the cemetery, and present the topic in a different form.
For example: create a diary entry, monologue, script, itinerary....
Title your work with a relevant quote from Dickinson's poetry.
I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
~
“All truths wait in all things,
They neither hasten their own delivery nor resist it,
They do not need the obstetric forceps of the surgeon...”
~
I am the poet of the body and I am the poet of the soul...
At another place he sings:
I have said that the soul is not more than the body.
~
The soul is always beautiful, it appears more or it appears less,
it comes or it lags behind,
It comes from its embower'd garden
and looks pleasantly on itself and encloses the world...
Man and woman: different entities?
I am the poet of the woman the same as the man,
And I say it is as great to be a woman as to be a man...
