i carry your heart with me
e.e. cummings is perhaps one of the strangest poets of all time and one of America’s finest poets of all time. He was encouraged at a young age to be creative and was later Harvard educated. His methods for writing follow no traditional guidelines in the sense of punctuation or capitalizing. e.e. cummings is without a doubt a difficult person to understand. In his poem i carry your heart with me he uses metaphorical statements to compare a girl’s beauty to the world, the moon, and the sun. He also uses repetition when he says how he carries her heart both at the beginning and ending to reemphasize how much he cares for her.

i carry your heart with me
Cummings distinct style of free verse poetry and non capitalization are key components of his poetry. Cummings also wrote many of his poems about love,
which is the case here. He writes about love so much because his first true love in a marriage was a disastrous stint that only lasted for nine months
before he was abandoned and divorced. Cummings was left with the root of the root, the bud of the bud, and after the divorce had nowhere to place his love, but inside his very own heart.

e.e. cummings was born in a good family unlike Emily Witman. She started out well and ended dying at an early age. The poem refers to his life and how he was with the ladies.
