may i touch said he (by e e cummings)

[famous rungi]

(may i touch said he
how much said she
a lot said he)
why not said she
(let's go said he
not too far said she
what's too far said he
where you are said she)

may i stay said he
(which way said she
like this said he
if you kiss said she

may i move said he
it is love said she)
if you're willing said he
(but you're killing said she

but it's life said he
but your wife said she
now said he)
ow said she

(tiptop said he
don't stop said she
oh no said he)
go slow said she

(cccome?said he
ummm said she
you're divine!said he
(you are Mine said she)

I've always like Cummings and the way he plays with format. I've never read this poem before though

 

[The Wanderer]

there are so many reasons to love that poem (and poet!)

 

[Stories for Boys]

that was good.....great.........

far better than i expected it to be....thanks for posting it, rungi!

 

[The Wanderer]

just out of curiosity, why do you phrase it like that?

 

[Stories for Boys]

uh.......me?

 

[The Wanderer]

yeah, just wondering about your comment, if you're not a fan of e.e. cummings that's fine, I just wondered if that's the case, no big deal la di da

 

[Stories for Boys]

i tend to be on the ignorant side when it comes to many poets...but that's more because i'm busy...i don't have the time to get into that right now...i didn't know what to expect, but i was pleasently surprised....i liked it a lot....
