e e cummings (#poem)

Chansons Innocentes

I 

in Just-

spring   when the world is mud-

luscious the little

lame balloonman

whistles    far    and     wee

and eddieandbill come

running from marbles and

piracies and it's

spring

when the world is puddle-wonderful

the queer

old balloonman whistles

far     and    wee

and bettyandisbel come dancing

from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

it's

spring

and

   the

         goat-footed

balloonMan     whistles

far

and

wee

-e. e. cummings

This is from cummings' first book Tulips and Chimneys. Since I was thinking about other cummings poems a couple of weeks ago, and that it was spring...

I think of this as one of his best-known poems. It's also a fun one.

Nearly done gallivanting!
