In Just Spring




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

e.e.cummings 1932



I wanted to include this with my last post but the stupid bloody thing wouldn't let me..... so here it is now.

  3. I've always loved this poem. I find it quite disturbing. Who the hell is this 'goat footed balloonman'?
