My New Best Friend...E.E. Cummings

Ever since taking AP Lit last year I have really really loved poetry. My junior year in A Cappella we sang a song with lyrics based on the poem, "since feeling is first" by E.E. Cummings. Earlier this week I was bored and have come to find that I sincerely love E.E. Cummings. His poems make my heart happy! If I could write poems like him, I might just quit this college thing and be a full time poet. Alas, I've yet to hone my poetry writing skills to do such a drastic thing...I think I'll stay in school for now. My two newest favorites are below. Enjoy them :)

what's wholly
marvellous my

Darling

is that you &
i are more than you

& i(be

e It's we)


i carry your heart with me

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in

my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
