Poem du Jour
maggie and milly and molly and may
maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach (to play one day)
and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn’t remember her troubles,and
milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;
and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and
may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.
For whatever we lose(like a you or a me)
it’s always ourselves we find in the sea

what a lovely little poem. I hadn’t seen this post before. Do you have a book of ee cummings poems, or did you find this somewhere else?

i do have books of e.e. cummings poetry. i went through quite a phase, and still enjoy his works. i’m pretty sure i stumbled upon this particular poem somewhere on the world wide web though.
“as small as a world and as large as alone”
i love that line. :-)
What are your thoughts?
