EE Cummings

I have always liked poetry. Some of the abstract stuff, I just don't get, no matter how cool some people think it is. When you think of Robert Frost's "Whose woods these are I think I know, his house is in the village though", you think about those times when you are alone and maybe even feeling alone inside. You can imagine yourself (maybe you have been there) in a woods in the winter, all alone. You can totally relate to the situation the writer is in.

When I was young, I discovered ee cummings. His use of punctuation and use of only upper case or only lower case letters is what caught my eye. After I really started to get to know his work, I admired him because he is just plain and simple a lover, totally into the woman he's with. He wrote about how he felt in bed with his love (this one is my favorite i like my body when it is with your ), or how she (who ever she was at the time) got inside his head and how he discovered himself through being with her. In the "i love you much(most beautiful darling) ", you can tell she got in his head and he was just out there looking at the world around him, thinking about it and describing it in terms of how he felt, now that he knew she was in it.
I think many of us go through that... he just expresses himself exceptionally better then the rest of us:
