The above poetry lines were inspired from the original poem by Emily Dickinson entitled: “Wild nights – wild nights!” I reflected upon line 7 and 8 to make inferences to the Christopher Columbus voyages, and to create the poem an response to Dickinson. As I was excited to learn of the “Generations of American school children have learned the story of Columbus” (Ferrer, 2021, p.10-11). I am grateful and absolutely loved to know that American school-children are taught of the Columbus history. Thank You!
