very interesting, wish this textual discharge into anything you want. just
like he did some of you want SHIT some of you want to be enamoured. I want
whatever he was on hahahahah [if that's insulting in any way remember to
wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills quicker, heh

The first time I read this poem, I thought that it was the worst peice of
literature that I had ever read. Ten or twenty times later, and my opinion
is the same. This is not a work of genius. This is a slap in the face to
any poet who studied the English language and attemped to create anything
beautiful with his words. It's almost disgusting.

the sheer brilliancy of the words arranged (or rather disarranged) to form
a poem that also forms itself into something that describes a very precise
image of a grasshopper..whew..cummings is a genius in literary
lunacy..artistic and very ingenius

this is the image of a grasshopper, rather, a bunch of them. they start out
ruffled as something comes along and then slowly settle down to resume
their original form which was clam and stable. OR it could be boiled down
the the essence of one grasshopper, and this poem is merely a celebration
of something so simple, yet he made it so complex. ee cummings is an
interesting poet in this way. he writes in such simple language, but it can
mean so much. ahh, how i love thee.

my English teacher claims that this poem is shaped like a grasshopper...
it's more linear here on the webpage but the original formation is
scattered. still don't see it though... i guess i just envision bugs
differently than my teacher :)

I believe it read as such:
grasshopper, who, as we look, now upgathering into himself, leaps, arriving
to become, rearrangingly, a grasshopper
