  • For anyone who likes E. E. Cummings.?

    You probably already know this poem..but it's a good read. Gotta love it :)

    anyone lived in a pretty how town- e.e. cummings

    anyone lived in a pretty how town

    (with up so floating many bells down)

    spring summer autumn winter

    he sang his didn't he danced his did

    Women and men (both little and small)

    cared for anyone not at all

    they sowed their isn't they reaped their same

    sun moon stars rain

    children guessed (but only a few

    and down they forgot as up they grew

    autumn winter spring summer)

    that noone loved him more by more

    when by now and tree by leaf

    she laughed his joy she cried his grief

    bird by snow and stir by still

    anyone's any was all to her

    someones married their everyones

    laughed their cryings and did their dance

    (sleep wake home and then) they

    said their nevers and slept their dream

    stars rain sun moon

    (and only the snow can begin to explain

    how children are apt to forget to remember

    with up so floating many bells down)

    one day anyone died i guess

    (and noone stooped to kiss his face)

    busy folk buried them side by side

    little by little and was by was

    all by all and deep by deep

    and more by more they dream their sleep

    noone and anyone earth by april

    wish by spirit and if by yes.

    Women and men (both dong and ding)

    summer autumn winter spring

    reaped their sowing and went their came

    sun moon stars rain
