Ok, this is just an idea I had about something that I thought Castle might do. I do not own any of these poems at all, just the idea of how to use them. I also don't own Castle, that would be Andrew Marlowe and ABC's territory.
The poem is by Emily Dickinson from Complete Poems – Part Two: Nature - V
Castle had been working on his new Nikki Heat book and needed a break. He decided to go through all of his old files and try to organize them into some something that had a semblance of order. Who knew, he might even find some inspiration for his next chapter or something important he'd forgotten about. As he meticulously sorted through the files he found one that he didn't even remember writing named, "Poems To My People" and decided to open it. This is what he found:
To my daughter Alexis, who always brings the sun back to my life when things have become dark.
"The Sun - just touched the Morning -
The Morning - Happy thing -
Supposed that He had come to dwell -
And Life would all be Spring!
She felt herself supremer -
A Raised - Ethereal Thing!
Henceforth - for Her - What Holiday!
Meanwhile - Her wheeling King -
Trailed - slow - along the Orchards -
His haughty - spangled Hems -
Leaving a new necessity!
The want of Diadems!
The Morning - fluttered - staggered -
Felt feebly - for Her Crown -
Her unanointed forehead -
Henceforth - Her only One!"
