e.e.cummings poem 95

I love e.e. cummings. do you have any more obscurer poems that you like? (by anyone)

95

i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun’s birthday;this is the birth
day of life and of love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any—lifted from the no
of all nothing—human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)



- from his book 100 Selected Poems

@Penny Beasley Street is social commentary and Twat is a funny poem.

@Entwistle I only read half of Beasley Street (it was kind of long) Twat reminds me of how my ex-husband talks lol
Penny · 46-50, F
@Entwistle lol cool

(I'VE GOT A BRAND NEW) TRACK SUIT
Two-tone stretch nylon yellow stripes on navy blue
I got a brand new track suit
I got the old one too
I got the old one too

I got a new track suit
I wear it every day
Keeps me cool and casual
I wore it yesterday

I got a new track suit
I wear it everywhere
Track me down to the training ground
Maybe I’ll be there
Maybe I’ll be there

Wearing my brand new track suit
Medicine ball to boot
Knee pads, an airline bag
And the overall smell of Brut
The overall smell of Brut

Expert eyes have scrutinized
And scientists agree
One track suit would suffice
But you’re better off with three
You’re better off with three

Two-tone stretch nylon yellow stripes on navy blue
I got a new track suit
I got the old one-two
I got the old one-two
