Self-Love
I just tried something in the lines of Emily dickonson's Poems. Hope everyone likes it.
The door was ajar
To the threshold of Life
And all the sinuous Love
Could not be contained
Within the inner cells
Of a musing Beauty
So it traversed over
The precincts of morality
And dwelled in the well
Of Eternal Bliss
Overpowering the potency
Of the cascading mores
In the sphere
Filled with Time rim
People decreeing Self
With all the glitter,
Amusing incidents of valour
And conquering Time
In a palate of colour
Blinded with Belief
Of what remained as Love.

In the blooming days of my Life
every minute of recognition was solution

the youthful glory under the trees
in the waking of my knowledge of Life

in the garden of the very existence.
The moments of joyful encounters
with souls of future generations
coming together to spend y

That's not bad at all! — especially at the beginning. I can see how you see her now.
The first two lines are just right. These words are very Emily D: 'precincts', 'traversed', 'incident', 'decree', 'potency'. I see you've noticed her trick of using sudden unexpected Latinate words.
In the last line you switch to Larkin — or perhaps Auden; or perhaps La

Thanks Mr.P. That was real encouraging. But, Frankly, I haven't read Larkin.I have read Auden's "If I could tell you" and "Lullaby" only but seriously don't remember much of his style.I think I'll try another poem, imitating Emily Dickonson.

I’m a beautiful flower
Your favourite flower in the bouquet
You smell my fragrance
And go unaided on your way.
I try not to whither
Your company want to give
You see me among the flowers
And inadvertently a smile you live.
This is like Emily D's Nature poems.Hope it is a good attempt by me.

This is an attempt to imitate Emily D's Death poems for which she is famous for:
This is my night
This is my day
This is my Life
This is my Death.
A tear here, A tear there
Kins really mourning
Silence here, and Silence there
Cadaver gone by morning.
This is my night
This is my day
This is my Life
This is my Death.
A tear here, A tear there
Kins really mourning
Silence here, and Silence there
Cadaver gone by morning.

Hello anita a
Here's a link to a characteristic poem by Larkin:

This is quite a good one too:

I like the 2nd stanza. Does your edition of Emily D give her unusual punctuation? She has a particular way of using dashes and capital letters — like — this:
A Tear here — a Tear there —
Kin — really mourning —
Silence here — Silence there —
Cadaver — gone by Morning.
'Cadaver' is good. I'm not sure about 'really'; perhaps (if I may):
A Tear here — a
A Tear here — a Tear there —
Kin — really mourning —
Silence here — Silence there —
Cadaver — gone by Morning.
'Cadaver' is good. I'm not sure about 'really'; perhaps (if I may):
A Tear here — a

Thank U Mr.P. I read the poems and I liked Larkin's Mr.Bleaney. How is the 'flower' poem that I tried? Here's the Death poem with changes...
This is my night
This is my day
This is my Life
This is my Death.
A tear here_ A tear there _
Kins Plush with mourning
Silence here_ Silence there _
Cadaver_ gone by morning.
This is my night
This is my day
This is my Life
This is my Death.
A tear here_ A tear there _
Kins Plush with mourning
Silence here_ Silence there _
Cadaver_ gone by morning.

Another attempt
My life is here
My death is here
I know not another door
I know not another path
Should the winds drag me
To the end of the world
My rainbow of sorrow
would paint a way
For the Time to falter
And Death to follow.
