E.E. Cummings. <3 My favorite poet so far. Actually. I don't know much about poets, but well, this guy, this guy, he's just amazing. Stupendous. Brilliant. It's in my opinion, but I'm guessing a lot of people agree. I was first asked to read his works in our Creative Writing Elective. We were asked to read "i carry your heart".
It....was..wonderful. Still my favorite poem of all time. I love reading it, mouthing the words as I go along. It's brilliant. He modelled the poem after actual heartbeats. (The rhythm of it.) And. The emotion. It is very, very relatable. I can really feel ..it. It is, well, ...how I feel.
And ever since then, I have been browsing through his poems online. But really. Nothing would beat having a copy of his poem collection. Too bad there is no sign of it in this country. Sigh.
And yes, I am sounding incoherent and not exactly rational, but this is what blogs are for. :p
