Analysis and comments on If she had been the Mistletoe by Emily Dickinson

Comment 1 of 1, added on March 12th, 2008 at 1:02 PM.

i liked this poem i didn't really understand it but then i reread it and i
guess her poem means that a misletoe isn't the only thing that makes people
feel for eachother on x-mas and she would like to get rid of that
tradition. things should be loved year round and a mistletoe just feeds off
the host. yeah that's what i understood.
