I believe Emily Dickinson is a good writer, but not one of my favorites. I thought her poem “I Heard a Fly Buzz” was kind of strange. The speaker of the poem is in her deathbed living her last moments. Although there are people gathered around her, she notices a fly buzzing near her. I did not understand the meaning of the fly. The only meaning I could think of is that even in the most important moments, we seem to get distracted by the unimportant details. I guess that she paid so much attention to the fly because it was awkward in the room. She could easily hear the fly and it probably made the room stop being so still. The room was probably so quiet with all the people teary- eyed. All of her visitors were waiting for her last breathes.
