            Fogged break of the day

when the fairground ride spun
i replied it’s just like flying but flying is better

In 1894 EDWARD ESTLIN CUMMINGS was born
when capital letters were the 'norm'-
With inventive and original verse,
Gaps,spaces,drop margins he then did try
and much use of the lower-case i
EE's many  little poetic tricks
sure makes him my maverick!

he loved her so
she meant the world to him
he questioned why
they never met before
it would've been possible
for they lived on the same planet
they just never knew
that the other existed
but they know now
and will not ever part
not even when they fight 
like crazy gunfighters
in some mad way

As she sits 'pon a Persian rug
Her pet lovingly by her side
This situation she can't shrug
As she sits 'pon a Persian rug
Frilly blue dress could've made her smug
But virtue shows in her blue eyes wide
As she sits 'pon a Persian rug
Her pet lovingly by her side
