in just- by e.e. cummings

There is something so distinctly whimsical about this poem that captivated me. Never mind that it didn't really make much sense the first time I read it, or that it doesn't follow any of the usual conventions I encounter in poems. It reminded me of Disney's Alice in Wonderland, with its playful, carefree tone. It is such a spring poem, full of happiness and the vibrancy of youth. It makes me feel like closing my eyes and letting myself go. There are things you encounter that make you feel like nothing can go wrong, and this poem is one of those.
