Notes About The Poem

Far and Away

far and away   you will find-
my favorite poet   I have written in 
        an odd free verse      it is
the style of     eecummings
               that brings me happiness 
love the flow and no capitalization
  and no need for punctuation
    the gaps to create pauses
      the crunched words
        the madeupwords so silly and words
                               like fugacious and labyrinthine
so come take a ride
   on my- diaphanous   gossamerfilmyclouds
of sumptuous
to where      the blue birds sing

James Inman April 2, 2020 at 10:17 AM A wonderful tribute to a great poet. I must admit I seldomly read poems of what would be considered "Master's of Poetry." My preference would be the beauty I find in pages like this and all of the wonderful poets here. Constance La France April 2, 2020 at 12:52 PM James, thanks for visiting and the compliment, oh I am I fascinated in studying the poetry of the old poet masters in yellowed books found in second hand stores to grasp their essence, perhaps their style, their ways of presentation, their story, sometimes so sadly tragic, I find it fascinating _Constance

Sam Kauffman March 26, 2020 at 2:18 PM Congratulations Eve on your first place win with your tribute to ee cummings - one of my favorites too with "dappling dawn." His poetry has had such an influence on my writing. I love his made up words and have done that in several poems. Stay healthy and well my friend. Constance La France March 26, 2020 at 8:15 PM Sam, I think you mean Constance not Eve, but you are writing about my poem, so I will say thanks for the congratulations, I have always loved how EE wrote _Constance

Kenneth Cheney March 25, 2020 at 10:22 AM While not my favorite poet, you have captured much of the style of eecummings. Very nicely done. Constance La France March 25, 2020 at 1:35 PM Kenneth, thanks for visiting, I understand completely, EE was a maverick for sure and not to each poets taste, but I find some of his writing style very free and most important fun _Constance
