A Hearty Happy Poem

Intrigued by the writing style of ee cummings, there came a point that I obsessed over researching on and reading his published poems.


As I was reading through his masterpieces, I found a piece that has fully captured my attention, and imagination for that matter.



“2 little whos”
2 little whos
(he and she)
under are this
wonderful tree
smiling stand
(all realms of where
and when beyond)
now and here
(far from a grown
-up i&you-
ful world of known)
who and who
(2 little ams
and over them this
aflame with dreams
incredible is)
- e e cummings


Reading this poem just makes me feel free to imagine, just like how it's constructed -- without punctuation marks. 


Reading it inspires me to hold on to the little innocent child in me who knows how to dream and be in awe of the simple things around her. 


It gives me a sense of both being ideal and real at the same time. Knowing that you have the ability to dream and at the same time, focus on what you are now.


It provides me the wonder of dreaming with someone and striving to reach our goal.


It's just romantic, isn't it? I can read it over and over and over again. It just makes me smile. :)
