...I love how most of the comments are direct to the poet, even though he's no longer with us. It makes me giggle, in a sad way.

In any even, I think this really show how "out of the box" Cummings was. The pinctuation seems random at times, but it adds to the dysfunctional situation he's trying to portray - we find ourselves in the simplest of things.

Very thought provoking.
on The Bells by Edgar Allan Poe, on January 20, 2005
This was the first poem of Poe's that I had read. It was in my English Honors class in eight grade, and we were studying the various types of poetry styles. Needless to say, Poe was one of the poets we spent an emese amount of time on. When I first read this, it just captivated me. The way he could make the bells almost come to life as you read haunted me... And left me yearning for more. Since then, I've picked up a few of his volumns, and I must say, I love them all so very much. Much respect for the beloved Edgar Allan Poe.
