I fell in love today with e.e. cummings. I sat there reading poem after poem, just in awe of how amazing this stuff is.

The thing that's amazing about a poem is you can read it slowly, over and over, and instead of becoming old and stale like an overused tv show, it becomes more and more.

Last year i took AP english Literature, and I fell out of

i like ee cummings... sam sent me an ee cummings poem. i think you pointed that out to me once actually... anyways i love you. also you are not to speak of ap literature exams ever again... no matter what language they are in, they suck!

thank you for both of those poems. just dropping by to second/third i suppose since emily already did the ee cummings love. the way he plays with the language to add multiple layers to everything he does is beautiful. not sure if you've happened upon this one, but it's my personal favourite:

pity this busy monster, manunkind,

not. Progress is a comfortable disease:
your victim (death and life safely beyond)

plays with the bigness of his littleness
--- electrons deify one razorblade
into a mountainrange; lenses extend
unwish through curving wherewhen till unwish
returns on its unself.
A world of made
is not a world of born --- pity poor flesh

and trees, poor stars and stones, but never this
fine specimen of hypermagical

ultraomnipotence. We doctors know

a hopeless case if --- listen: there's a hell
of a good universe next door; let's go
