"I felt a funeral, in my Brain"

When Emily dickinson wrote this poem I think she wrote about her sorrow of a death of a close one in her life. It could be about her losing her mental capabilty to function with the overwhelming stress of a death in her life. The poem itself had a few auditory senses that brought the poem alive to the reader and also imagery of the gray bleak scence of a funeral. this poem was very personal pertaining to her personal experiences and I think that this poem was a way of expressing herself in ways that other things could not, to get her feelings and thoughts out on paper must have been a method to move on from sadness and mourning.
