One of the very first poets I fell in love with. The other followed, though quite different: Rilke.

Oh wow! I didnt know him or his work. Thank you for introducing him to us. Thank you for sharing your poem too. Amazingly surprising !!! I love how we can play with everything. I usually do it with layout. But never thought of punctuation. ... ! Great post.

One of my favorite Cummings poems is: anyone lived in a pretty how town.

I really like how after the mushrooms your style on the page and your stanzas change, becoming more vertical and less horizontal. This felt like a real embodied shift within me, and I imagine other readers. Liked this.

cummings was such an enigma, but you've captured him in a way that makes sense. Great read!
