Water is Taught

A lesson about the thirst for water.

Water is Taught by Thirst
Water is taught by thirst;
Land, by the oceans passed;
Transport, by throe;
Peace, by its battles told;
Love, by memorial mould;
Birds, by the snow.

-Emily Dickinson

Reflection: The poem “Water is Taught by Thirst” is a very strong poem. It has a lot of strong metaphors that really shows strong comparisons between the two different things in every line. Overall, I thought that the poem “Water is Taught be Thirst” was a very strong poem. I hope you would agree and enjoy this poem too.
