Poetry Thursday: Early Spring
I'm posting this a day early, appropriately enough.Thy fingers make early flowers of
ee cummings
Thy fingers make early flowers of
all things.
thy hair mostly the hours love:
a smoothness which
sings,saying
(though love be a day)
do not fear,we will go amaying.
thy whitest feet crisply are straying.
Always
thy moist eyes are at kisses playing,
whose strangeness much
says;singing
(though love be a day)
for which girl art thou flowers bringing?
To be thy lips is a sweet thing
and small.
Death,Thee i call rich beyond wishing
if this thou catch,
else missing.
(though love be a day
and life be nothing,it shall not stop kissing).

It's Thursday? Oh, crap. Well, on some level I guess I knew it was since I did teach today. But where the hell has my week gone?
Oh, sorry. I should at least say hi as well. Hello!
It seems your week has gone to hell...o to you too.
Darn it, Lis, I get the picture but no text. Which means it must be your best so far...Rats, what am I missing?
I think ol' ee was having a Shakespearean moment. He should have stuck to his excellent lower case modern romance poetry.
Still, the straying whitest feet thing was lovely.
Who was he writing about, I wonder....
