Grew Quivering
Or rather, he passed us; The dews grew quivering and chill, For only gossamer my gown, My tippet only tulle. These lines are also from the same poem, "Because I Could Not Stop for Death" by Emily Dickinson. Here, the speaker continues to describe her carriage ride with Death, but the perspective shifts to the experience of the speaker as they pass through a field.

Gazing Grain
We passed the school, where children strove At recess, in the ring; We passed the fields of gazing grain, We passed the setting sun.

Sentiments
They float like feathers in the wind Fragile, delicate, and light Emotions that we cannot rescind In darkness, they shine bright

We slowly drove, he knew no haste
We slowly drove, he knew no haste, And I had put away My labor, and my leisure too, For his civility. These lines are the opening stanza of the poem "Because I Could Not Stop for Death" by Emily Dickinson.

Because I could not stop for Death
Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves And Immortality.

Rainbow
A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that occurs when sunlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed through water droplets in the atmosphere. When the light hits the water droplets, it separates into its individual colors, which creates the recognizable arc of colors we call a rainbow. The colors of a rainbow, in order from the outer edge to the inner edge, are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Rainbows can be seen in the sky opposite the sun, often after a rain shower or when water droplets are present in the air.

Colorful Poetry
n the fields of green and gold, Where the sun sets and the day grows old, The sky is painted with hues so bold, Of orange, pink, and purple to behold.

PILLAR OF STRENGTH
A father is a pillar of strength, A guiding light that shines so bright, He teaches us to be our best, And helps us through the darkest night.

Homeless Souls'
Homeless people wander the streets, Their plight often goes unseen. They are the forgotten souls, Living in poverty and without means.
