Ode To Ee Cummings

               10/7/2023



A classical poet, indeed, you are not.
An intellectual poet, spare me the lot!!

Fingers that knew well,humanity’s heart .
Poetry that freed me from, dead stoic art .

Freedom to be, who we are was your song.
“Since feeling is first,”I do hum, all day long!

Intellectualism, bores this poet to tears!
Lying with my love on summer’s grass my heart cheers.

I shall love you, e.e, Cummings, till my final breath.
Your poetry, I will value and love until the day of my death.

You gave me the ultimate freedom to really be me,
I think of you always when writing good poetry.

Your sensuous lines…..“Since feeling is first,”
Allowed me to surpass intellectuality, it’s life that I thirst!”


My love and respect,
Panagiota Romios

Ink Empress Date: 10/17/2023 11:48:00 AM Wow this is so very heartfelt and sincere, i can tell he changed your life for good, i remember reading some of his work too. I dont think i feel this way about any famous authors, maybe oneday i will, although i do have my favorites, you truly are a real fan and admirer and follower for you think of him when you write too. Thank you for sharing this with us. Pleasure reading your work always Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 10/17/2023 1:01:00 PM Ink! Heartfelt thanks. Like you, other authors I appreciate, but have not had such impact, as he writes in clear language, example… this is so simple, yet so sensuous . “I like my body, when it is with your body, It is so quite a new thing” ..it’s not ethereal verse. If anything, it is quite earthy. I spent years in college with arrogant intellectual men! Cummings line, “ he who worries about the syntax of things, will never wholly kiss you.” Tis why his poem, “since feeling is first, so impacted my life.”. I don’t know if I make sense to you, I hope I got my point across. I understand simplicity is underrated in poetry. …it gets highly overdressed and leaves me unimpressed. Because the soul of the poet, the who ,is lost and hidden. May sunshine fill the windows of your soul. Pangiie xx

You know he’s well educated. And he was a maverick to write in his ow style, thank the stars.I like poetss who break out of harnesses and spreads their wings. Merci, Pangie xx
