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 ____________________________ March 25, 2020 Poetry/Free Verse/far and away Copyright Protected, ID 20-1238-888-03 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Submitted into the Strand Choice Q Contest sponsor, Brian Strand First Place

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.

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

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.

While not my favorite poet, you have captured much of the style of eecummings. Very nicely done.

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
