Cummings is known for his "concrete" poetry, in which the visual arrangement of words or letters has meaning in itself. (The strange appearance of the words in the first poem is intentional.)

This post consists of two poems and one photo.

beautiful... and I love that you included the cummings poetry (says the girl who used to have the "you and i are not mostpeople" essay memorized). :)
When I looked at the e.e. cummings one again this morning I saw it right away. Stunned I am....
Really lovely and rather poignant. Thanks for sharing this.
