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.”

i loved it…it’s so good like i dont know what to say but when you read it you feel beautiful:)
sweet love is weird.
but this poem is sexy!
heres one of mine, A special world for you and i
A special bond one cannot see
it wraps us in it cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its hold
Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nesting us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last…
While this poem does compliment the reader, I can’t help but sense an underlying pride — not in a negative sense, but nonetheless present. The first words are “if you like my poems”, and then comparing those who like his poems to “princess[es]” — meaning that if you have taste enough to like his poetry, you’re high society. The reason for putting the reader before his poetry is perhaps to show his appeal to people who’re above him.
I think this poem is showing that, no matter how beautiful you think Cummings’ poems are, he thinks you are much better, more graceful and stylish. You=princess, his poems= tall servants.
but that’s just what i think.
I have to keep posting.
This is such a
deep poem
I love it.
the perv
I agree Bonjourno.
I am such a perv.
I agree with bonjorno, the tongue gave the my bottom side such a wonderufl sensation, my penis touched the vagina and they had a wonderful duet of love and song, i will post the recording of the love on the top 40 hits tomorrow and play it on the radio
e e cummings is the mose genius of all poets
I feel that the poem is really very meaningful in a way. It is as though, although this is someone else’s poem, he wants you take it and let your imagination run wild with it, so that one is able to enjoy it even more than ever.
Great! Great! It’s the one.
I though that this peom was interesting. When I read it, I thought of how his poems can be imaginative and that you can take them any place you want. Also, that people have different opinions about poems. That’s just how it was to me…
One- why are all of you commenters saying such childish, ignorant things? I see no humor in them- they’re a bit disturbing. Two- This poem *is* wonderful; because cummings, again, allows interpretation up to you. The main idea of the poem, that poems themselves can bring joy which can be seen by others.
So, horny young (not referring to just age, but maturity as well) people, go back to your homes and please, if you comment again, grow up first.
Well cholaka i have to agree with you. I too have recently had the best sex I’ve ever had in my entire life. Possibily because it was with you. Oh my.. if my penis gave music to your vagina.. then oh baby baby.. The things your tounge gave to my.. bottom side. MMM MMM MMM…
