Poetry, April 10

So yesterday willow_41z posted me to this comic about "pretend to be e.e. cummings" day, and that reminded me of the poem that I wrote a paper on, and so I am posting it today, because it's easier to pick that one than to stare at e.e. cummings and want to post everything. I AM MAKING NO PROMISES ABOUT NOT POSTING MORE BY HIM THOUGH. Luff. So today, from e.e. cummings:


[i like my body when it is with your]
i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite new a thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones,and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like,slowly stroking the,shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh.... And eyes big love-crumbs,

and possibly i like the thrill

of under me you so quite new

that was an awful poem.
I tried to read it aloud to Rob. That didn't work out so well.

I'm not sure of the verdict on e.e. cummings's (Oh it makes me feel weird to type that name! Punctuation! Capitalization!) feminist principles as evidenced in this poem, but it's certainly interesting.

oh, well, John Green points out the fact (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFiApf_m4H0) that he had some shortcummings in that area.

but even with all that, I just...really love this poem.

This poem doesn't scream anything out to me, except maybe "under me", but I take that as literal, and assuming he likes vanilla standard positions.
