Creating something from something already created

Yeah, read that title 5 times fast. Or even just two times fast.

I was thinking about writing a piece from the aspect of another piece- you know, putting the two together, using one as my muse and the other as my work. Thus, I've decided on Dickinson. I absolutely adore this woman and wish I could know everything about her and who she really was.

This is the poem I'm using for my muse:

It's All I have to bring to-day,
This, and my heart beside,
This, and my heart, and all the fields,
And all the meadows wide.
Be sure you count, should I forget, --
Some one the sum could tell, --
This, and my heart, and all the bees
Which in the clover dwell.

Yum. More posted on that later!
