in Just- by E. E. Cummings
in Just-
spring when the world is mud-
luscious the little lame baloonman
whistles far and wee
and eddyandbill come
running from marbles and
piracies and it's
spring
when the world is puddle-wonderful
the queer
old baloonman whistles
far and wee
and bettyandisbel come dancing
from hop-scotch and jump-rope and
it's
spring
and
the
goat-footed
baloonMan whistles
far
and
wee
spring when the world is mud-
luscious the little lame baloonman
whistles far and wee
and eddyandbill come
running from marbles and
piracies and it's
spring
when the world is puddle-wonderful
the queer
old baloonman whistles
far and wee
and bettyandisbel come dancing
from hop-scotch and jump-rope and
it's
spring
and
the
goat-footed
baloonMan whistles
far
and
wee

A very beautiful flower picture and I love the poem. Mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful are fantastic words!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you took the capture from the back of the blossoms. Makes for a very beautiful shot. Smiles B
ReplyDeleteI've always loved this poem. I find it quite disturbing. Who the hell is this 'goat footed balloonman'?
