Described as a romancer and a highly sentimental poet, E.E. Cummings
portrays a yearning for love and amorous relations in the poem "It is at
moments after I have dreamed". Studying art in Paris, and moving back to
New York to become a proclaimed poet, Cummings completed a collection of
passionate poems, including this particular romantic poem. "It is at
moments after I have dreamed" paints a picture for the reader, successfully
portraying the dream as a vivid and emotionally stimulating experience.

e.e. Cummings was a great poet. All the titles of his poems are writen in
lower case letters, which is a orginal look that everyone will reconize.
e.e. Cummings was verys talented and didn't really write professionally.
You can tell that he wasn't very professional becuase he didnt have tiles
to his poems and they were all in lower case. Cummings spent three months
in a French detention camp that help create some of his background and
experience. After that he went to Paris to study art, which helps with
writing poetry. Some of Cummings early poems discovered and original way of
describing the chaotic immedialy of sensicous experiences he had. As most
poets, he had a simplistic view of the world. As in this poem, he has a
very gleeful paicious tone in his poetry. Cummings also was very good
verbaly and visually.

This has been my favorite poem since middle school. I am now a senior
graduating from a university and about to read this poem aloud in front of
my poetry class today. I am about 10 minutes from where e.e. cummings was
born and raised, and have had a particular affinity towards him ever since
I read "g-r-a-s-s-h-o-p-p-e-r" which was introduced to me by my 8th grade
English teacher. This poem, to me, is by far his sweetest, most love-filled
and meaningful poem. Although not as abstract as his others, this poem is
vivid in imagery and, like Frost, makes "sense sounds" that make it sound
lyric and song-like.

E.E., when you wrote this, did you read me?
These words I've used to start my blog.

So what is this poem? Is it happy, is it sad? I haven't gotten it yet,
and would really like to!

I've read this poem many times, and every time I read it, I struggle with
deciding if it is a sad or a happy poem.

This is one of the most exquisite sonnets I have ever read. I know it by
heart. It is just beautiful, and so sweetly melancholy.
