My Analysis of Emily Dickinson's poem:
The Morns Are  Meeker.
         When I read this poem I can feel a strong love for the autumn season. In this poem, Dickinson describes how autumn is overpowering summer in her town. She uses such personification as stating the berry�s �cheeks�, roses leaving town, and the strength of the morning to address these changes.  �The morns are meeker� shows that mornings are coming later and not as bright as once before. �The nuts are getting brown; the berry�s cheek is plumper, the rose is out of town� are all personifications that describe the effects of this changing season, the new colors that are more prominent, and the darker times of life.

          In the second part also shows where the colors change. �The maple wears a gayer scarf, the field, a scarlet down� shows the multitude of colors that accommodate the leaves of various trees and plants. Emily Dickinson is also stating how these colors would somewhat depress many others, but to her, autumn is a season of many changes and colors. As most would slowly seep into this depressing graying of the season, such that �lest I should be old-fashioned� states, she shows us that she doesn�t want to be like the many other that came before her. She will adorn herself with a trinket to show those around her that the season doesn�t have to be depressing, but full of hope.
