These are four poems I wrote that were inspired by The Scarlet Letter. Each poem is from either Hester's or Dimmesdale's point of view.
The first poem, "Heartsong", is what Hester was feeling during the seven years of her solitude.
The second poem takes place on the night of the meteor. The events of the night are recorded from Hester's perspective. The third poem takes place by the brookside when Hester takes back the Scarlet Letter. The fourth poem is about Dimmesdale's thoughts during the final scaffold scene.
Some of the poems do not have names. This is because I did not think of any. They do not really need names.
