I am a true fan of the sonnet, but when I read this particular sonnet, the line " not even the rain has such small hands", gave a new meaning to metaphor and imagry.

Dear Mr. Cummings
I was reviewing your poem with my friend imam ashfaq from the local mosque. We suddenly came across the passage "my blood approves...
and kisses are a far better fate
than wisdom "
Imam ashfaq (may allah forgive him) immediataly cried out in alarm and said that this blasphemous and infidel-like poem went against allahs word. He said that this passage advocated for the indecency of woman as "kisses" are meant for the husband alone and not "wisdom." also, we felt thaat this poem tried to encourage the use of makeup and high heels (both the tools of the devil) in women.
we have issued a fatwa agaisnt this poem
allah-u-akbar.
