E.E. Cummings

So thank god I picked an author that I liked for my project or I'd be ready to shrivel up and die right about now. So I made 5 original pieces, and featured 2 of them in my podcast as I thought they would be simpler and easier to explain.
However, I prefer my other three, and so I figured I'd post one now.
The other ones wouldn't post, as blogger was messing up the weird formatting, so I just went with this one.

So what do you think?
Just figured that this would be a good way to end my cummings filled week.

  1. this is a really interesting piece.
    "the tonic-s(hit)-stained-s.crum-hole" this is a very powerful line, and is my favourite line of this piece.
    you used alot of interesting imagery and mechanics to develop this piece.
    one of my favourite pieces by oyu this semester.

  2. Wow! That was really poetic, I loved it quite a bit I must say. You really captured cummings quite well in this, i love how it feels so full yet empty at the same time while reading it. I love the abrupt ending that somehow summarizes more than what you've written here, great!
