Heaven is what is cannot reach:

This poem is another example of a metaphorical poem of Dickinson. In the first stanza it is clearly shown that an apple on a tree is supposed to resemble heaven. She describes this apple as too high to reach, which makes her want to aim for the unreachable. The poem shows that her dreams can come true if she would try a bit harder to not give up and stretch her arm a bit further to reach the apple. I think this is a very well thought of compassion to try to explain that what she cannot reach or what she does not have is what she desires most. I find this poem very interesting because there are so many hidden meanings in it. I also find it very interesting how there are signs of allusion since there is reference to the bible because god heaven and the story of Adam and Eve with the able on the tree. The second stanza uses cruising clouds moving away from her is where paradise is as comparison. This is a line I find every well written because she used this as a metaphor actually meaning she enjoys chasing the unchasable. Something that she would never be able to posses would be her paradise. The first two stanzas create two different type of imagery. Stanza number one is the apple on the tree that cannot be reached and the second one the chasing after clouds. I find this poem sad in some way because there could be a deeper meaning behind it. She might have been writing about a lover that she knows would never be hers but she would never stop trying. This shows that the main literary device would be the metaphors she uses to express her thoughts and feeling. So this could be a poem about a broken hart.  I also found that her use of literary devices were very good. There is also a clear rhyme scheme used, which is ABCB since the second and fourth line in each stanza rhyme with each other. The last stanza is a blank verse since the rhyme scheme stops Dickinson has done this to show the reader that theme of the poem has slightly changed. She uses a lot of hyphens to join words and thoughts together. Dickinson did this to make sure that the readers know how to read this poem correctly.  She also used capitalization for the first word of each line to let the reader know what words to express more and show them the more important words and concepts in this poem. The first line of the second stanza is also an example of alliteration where the letter C is repeated three times. This letter is also capitalized, which tells the reader to pay more attention to this line.
