One of Emily Dickinson's poems i tried to interpret was I Haven't Told My Garden Yet. I did so unsuccessfully. However, I did try to understand what she was saying, and what I got out of it was that Emily was going to be leaving her garden and she didn't know how to break the news to her garden yet. She maybe viewed her garden as a living being, and thought that it would miss her while she was away. Im obviously not really getting it because that doesn't make sense. But it seems as though she thinks there is a mutual feeling between the garden and her.

Think of what you know about Emily Dickinson...thinking of her garden as her friend would not be unusual for her. She is writing about her impending death and how she is going to break the news to her garden.
