Kewt dawgie and I love e.e. cummings. :)
ReplyDeleteI wanted to post the whole poem, but I try to respect copyright. It seems to me cummings' poetry ought to be off copyright soon.
DeleteVery nice! I do mostly love e. e. BUT right now I am trying to wade my way through AnOther E. E. Cummings. The chapter on Language Experiments is really hard going.
ReplyDeleteHere is one of the easier ones (at least for me).

I have found that typing them out or writing them out first gives me a better sense of them when I then try to read them aloud.
Hope everyone had a nice Halloween. Thanks for the sweet doggie on the pumpkin.
Bonnie, there's an "e" that I can't place in a word.
DeleteActually, I didn't do a thing Halloweenish, except reread "Christabel" by Coleridge, which sort of fits, with the snake and spirits in the air, some of them evilish.
It's "where no one" I didn't get it until the third try and only because I typed it through. Some of these take me forEVER to break down.
ReplyDeleteI have some Coleridge in a few anthologies but no complete volume of his work. I went looking but don't have Christabel. Now see what you did. I have a gift certificate to Barnes and Noble and I will be forced (kidding) to make a trip over there very soon.
Ah yes, now I see. I was reading "noon".
DeleteI embarrassed my teacher and my classmates (and myself) when we read the poem in high school, but that's a long story for another time.
DeleteHappy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween, Mark! Happy All Saints Day!
DeleteThat puppy is, as the kids say, totes adorbs.
ReplyDeleteBex, I love the photo, the leaves of all colors, the bright orange pumpkin, but most of all the Puppy.
DeleteI love dogs and puppies! And you are right - you can't NOT post one so cute! Hope your Halloween was good!
ReplyDeleteCiss, I thought about trying to get my Diana to pose with a pumpkin, but I realized it would probably be an exercise in futility. Besides, even I must admit Diana is not as cute as the puppy.
