About this coloring page
Hope is the thing with feathers is the first line of a poem by Emily Dickinson, the American poet from Amherst, Massachusetts, who lived from 1830 to 1886. The poem is often known by this first line as its title, because Dickinson rarely titled her poems, and it was published after her death. This quote coloring page has the line in bubble letters with her name beneath, inside a frame with flowers in each corner.
The poem compares hope to a small bird that lives inside us and keeps singing, even in hard times. That image makes the page a gentle gift for someone going through a difficult season. It suits students reading poetry, adults who color to relax, and anyone who loves birds. Add feathers or a small bird in the margins to bring the picture to life.
