e.e. cummings - if you like my poems let them

if you like my poems let them
walk in the evening,a little behind you

then people will say
"Along this road i saw a princess pass
on her way to meet her lover(it was
toward nightfall)with tall and ignorant servants."

Poet: e.e. cummings (e.e. cummings Art) Poem: if you like my poems let them Poem of the Day: Feb 22 2007 Comment 24 of 24, added on May 30th, 2007 at 2:52 PM. The poet is an admirer(the man)who has given me, the Princess, (the woman), a beautiful gift - not just the words, but the sensual feeling. With it and the beautiful words I go to meet my flesh-and-blood lover. The poems are only dumb and ignorant servants - I have to seduce my lover all by myself (with a little back-up from the servants). Sanra from Denmark Comment 23 of 24, added on April 5th, 2007 at 3:17 PM. ee cummings is in a cute way, congratulating himself here as well as any reader who loves his work. he recognizes that a poem can make you, the reader, feel beautiful and even regal and you walk out with the words, who are (tall servants) but ignorant of your need of them. Nevertheless, they "attend" you. ea Comment 22 of 24, added on April 5th, 2007 at 3:00 AM. I think this is one of his more hopeful poems - admitting that even his words are "tall, ignorant servants", just not enough as words can never be to truly explain love, the way of a man with a maid, but his HOPE is that they can enourage you to seek it - that one true love. Don't waste your time with just the words, get on your way to a real relationship. Open up and enter in- his words are ushering you on your way.
