This paper is to show how to analyse Dickinson's poems with the concept of metaphors. Metaphor is not an exceptional stylistic device for rhetorical flourish, but an important factor in our understanding, a factor that is based on the cognitive mapping of one conceptual domain(the source domain) onto another(the target domain). Metaphor permeates our language and the way we conceptualize the world. Thus, metaphor is basic not only to our language but also to our cognition, in general. Metaphor can be divided into two kinds; the conceptual metaphor and the poetic one. The poetic metaphor can be different from the conceptual metaphor in degree, but not in kind. It id based on the same cognitive mappings we can find in the conceptual metaphor. But there are specific techniques poets can exploit in order to get poetic metaphors from conceptual ones; extension, elaboration, questioning and composition. We try to define the most important concept, “death”, in Dickinson's poems and analyze her poems with the metaphor, LIFE IS JOURNEY." and drew a good result. Death can be defined as a desirable gate toward Heaven, which we cannot pass through easily, and her poem J. 712 can be interpreted well. And we are sure we can interpret her other poems well, too, if we fill slots of the schema in metaphors with other possible elements. That means our analysis of poems based on the concept of metaphor is very sound and it is the very way we should take in interpreting poems in this age of cognitive science.
