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 Date: 4/2/2020 10:17:00 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.

Sam Kauffman Date: 3/26/2020 2:18:00 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.

Kenneth Cheney Date: 3/25/2020 10:22:00 AM While not my favorite poet, you have captured much of the style of eecummings. Very nicely done. Login to Reply Constance La France Date: 3/25/2020 1:35:00 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
