Bring promise of merry sunshine

[fellmama]

This is what I think of in spring:

in Just-
spring       when the world is mud-
luscious the little
lame baloonman 

whistles       far       and wee 

and eddieandbill come
running from marbles and
piracies and it's
spring 

when the world is puddle-wonderful 

the queer
old baloonman whistles
far       and         wee
and bettyandisbel come dancing 

from hop-scotch and jump-rope and 

it's
spring
and 

       the 

               goat-footed

baloonMan       whistles
far
and
wee 
--e.e. cummings

I still love that poem, even though I got sort of an e.e. cummings overload after I went on that kick.

Spring!!

I'm so burned out on poetry from studying it 2/3s of last year, I usually look at shit like this and groan, but this poem makes me unaccountably happy.

Yes! This poem is the exception to so many rules about what I like and dislike. It makes me think of Calvin and Hobbes.

e.e. cummings is my favorite poet ever!!

[in-white-light.livejournal.com]

if e.e. cummings were alive today, would he adopt h4x0r sp33k?

seriously -- perhaps i look familiar because i'm in testostertones, or around the theatre a lot, or ...

who are you? (asked in benign manner)

[fellmama.livejournal.com]

Of course he would sp33k teh lingo.
Chorale! That's it! You're a tenor, right? I'm second alto. Mary. Sophomore. History major.
