27th April
o by the by by E.E. Cummings
E.E. Cummings was an unconventional American poet, who based his verse on the sound of words rather than attempting to tell a story or make a point. Perhaps not to everyone’s taste, Cummings’ poetry was certainly innovative.
E. E. Cummings. Source: Britannica
o by the by
o by the by
has anybody seen
little you-i
who stood on a green
hill and threw
his wish at blue
with a swoop and a dart
out flew his wish
(it dived like a fish
but it climbed like a dream)
throbbing like a heart
singing like a flame
blue took it my
far beyond far
and high beyond high
bluer took it your
but bluest took it our
away beyond where
what a wonderful thing
is the end of a string
(murmurs little you-i
as the hill becomes nil)
and will somebody tell
me why people let go
And with Cummings’ flight of fancy, I bring Ms Esiri’s collection to a close, with thanks. This is the final poem of the day. Please check out the original book: I promise you will find it as inspiring as I did.
