  • Meter and Rhyme - Her rhythm is usually determined not just by the number of syllables in a line, but by how the syllables are accented.
  • Punctuation and Syntax- Dickinson most often punctuated her poems with dashes rather than the more expected array of periods, commas, and other punctuation marks.
  • Form and Style- Dickinson's poems are lyrics, generally defined as short poems with a single speaker who expresses thought and feeling.

    By those who ne'er succeed.
    To comprehend a nectar
    Requires sorest need.

    Not one of all the purple Host
    Who took the Flag today
    Can tell the definition
    So clear of victory

    As he defeated – dying –
    On whose forbidden ear
    The distant strains of triumph
    Burst agonized and clear!

    ~ The lower highlight clearly shows her punctuation where she uses dashes often.
    ~ The top two dashes show how she uses rhythm based on accented syllables.
