Poetry Month: Like Men and Women Shadows walk by Emily Dickinson

Like Men and Women Shadows Walk by Emily Dickinson

Like Men and Women Shadows walk
Upon the Hills Today --
With here and there a mighty Bow
Or trailing Courtesy
To Neighbors doubtless of their own
Not quickened to perceive
Minuter landscape as Ourselves
And Boroughs where we live --

I really like this poem and imagery it brings to mind. It makes me think of Peter Pan and childish whimsy, yet with a slightly more detached air.
