I think that the last line means that even when a writer dies he is not
wholly dead because of his writing.

This poem shows how syntax is not tantamount to semantics.. perhaps
cummings is gesturing towards why he breaks the rules of syntax in all his
poems?

Read it from the last line up, then it is a good poem. I think that it is
meant to be read bottom to top. Correct me if I am wrong

when I read the poem for the very first time, I had goose bumps! I could
feel my blood stirred... It's a poem of love and maybe its also about
taking love easily but to me there lies a subtle poignant beauty which is
quite inexplicable. I could find the sad and painful part of love reading
this poem and literally I cried... because I felt that lovers been
described here in this poem can never really belong to one another entirely
for cruel reality...

This poem is about love, and how it determines what we do in life. The poem
expresses on how we should follow our heart and emotions, before our mind
and thoughts. The poem shows the beauty of love, and how it shows in life,
and that life has no limits. On the other hand, in the last line, Cummings
mentions death, and how it’s no parenthesis in love, and that love
continues forever.

this poem is highlighting the fact that everyone needs love in their lives
and until they have that, there isn't all that much else in life. because
life is represented as a formality and even though many of us consider
death to be the end, ee cummings sees it as a beginning.

I feel this poem about a confusion which all people poetic at heart or in
love face in day-to-day life.The constant fight of mind over heart.The poet
expresess how falling in love and leaving practical life behind is foolish
but his blood approves of it.for him the value of kissess is more than
money and indeed it is true.Feelings definately come first and often cannot
be expressede.A single moment of love,being with your loved one is more
special than anything else in the world.If this is foolishness than I am a
fool too.

I think that this poem is about the state of ecstacy experienced when
you're falling in love or are in love. The way that little things are so
unimportant when the feeling of a person is involved. When you love someone
you would do anything for them no matter what the consequence and the act
of poetry is a way of expressing feelings, thoughts or words that cannot be
said any other way.

It seems that no one here knows what the last line of the poem means.
one definition of Parenthesis is: An interruption of continuity; an
interval. This is the definition that applies to the poem. The people who
said that life has no syntax and no order were right, and now that i
defined the word that seems to have given many people trouble, I think you
can figure out what the last line means. Hopefully i helped.

this poem is one of, if not, my favorite poems. it's just so true- feeling
should always come first. yes, all you need is love. it's weird how people
in today's world will tell you this all the time and yet focus always on
the job side of things- on the money, on the deadlines- on the syntax of
things. if it were up to me, I wouldn't pay attention to the syntax of
things, but don't we all the time? the message is so beautiful. the poem
says love is more important than anything, even wisdom. life is not a
paragraph it says, for it isn't. it has no structure, it's full of unedited
mistakes, it doesn't get lost in details, it just is. and death is no
parenthesis- death has no explanation. death is no explanation. death is
not something you can put aside and still get life. I love this poem so
much. I just wish more people in the world loved it- and lived by it.
