GLIB SCARCELYEST AMONGS FLOWERING
From my heart, I must admit I find this poem so beautifully expressive of the nature of keylime pie – snow is an extended metaphor for the cream that melts so gently when consumed – those pauses only represent more clearly the sharpness of the lime cutting through your emotions as it does through the cream.
I must applaud E E Cummings for encapsulating such a fantastic and tantalising desert within the metaphor of the substance that is frozen delicate drops of hydrogen, hydrogen and oxygen.

I think its about the Christian views on afterlife
This is even harder to read than “L(a”! I love it anyway. Poems like Cummings’ show that you don’t have to have rhyme or reason to be poetry. His poems caputure the true essence of what he’s describing, without perfect structure, or rhyming words, or verbose analysis. “Snow” is wayward, tumbling, jumbled, flurried. I haven’t yet seen a snowfall that’s perfectly in line. But a snowfall doesn’t have to be structured to be beautiful.
make it in english not fjhgduhgdh langauge
im sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo confused and i don’t get it, but i still like it!
wow this poem is really confusing at first but from reading the comments i kind of got help. Thanks. But honestly i still can’t understand it. Although this one was confusing he has a lot of other inspiratiional poems that i had read that were written by him
This poem is difficult to comprehend at first. I am still having some difficulty trying to understand the meaning of it. I have chosen this poem to share for my thesis paper. His poetry is so unique, however sometimes the meaning is just to hard to find. He made it difficult to desipher his poetry.
if you don’t get the poem, look at the name i put in. It says poem reader. that is the kind of format in which this poem is written
