Poems by e. e. cummings.
Over time, almost all of his poems will make it to this site. If you're looking for a specific poem and I haven't posted it yet, you can
contact me to request it; or, there is a huge database
here.
eecummingspoetry asked: I'm also an E.E. Cummings enthusiast and think the idea of a tumblr for him is just great. I've started my own and would love to have support of your followers as well now that you're taking a bit of a break from posting! Figure there's enough e.e. love to go around :)
Alright, tumblrs, have at it!
As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I don’t often post to this tumblr anymore. It’s for no one reason in particular; there are many more poems out there, but from my end, the posting has more or less run its course. This isn’t a final end to the tumblr, though. I’ll be around. Please continue to stop by - I always love to hear how much other people appreciate ee cummings - and I’m sure I will post things every once in a while as they come across my dash.
Thanks!

Anonymous asked: hello!
do you know if this poem is really cummings'?
"may I be I is the only prayer—
not may I be great or good
or beautiful or wise or strong."
i read it on the internet, but can't find it in any of his books nor the "poem hunter" website =(
thank you so much!

I couldn’t figure this out either (surprise, I’m not actually an ee cummings guru! just a big fan). Does anyone know? Email her!
mellymouse asked: So I love love love this idea. I just want to point out that while it's popular to lower-case-ify his name, it's proper to capitalize it. He signed letters, etc. in lower case as a humility thing -- same with the lower case i's. He never changed his name to lower case or preferred to be referred to in lower case, like bell hooks. So E. E. Cummings is "more correct."
The more you know!
lemdi:
love is a place
& through this place of
love move
(with brightness of peace)
all places
yes is a world
& in this world of
yes live
(skilfully curled)
all worlds
Sunday mornings make me sappy.
