Lyrical Poetry-E.E. Cummings

Like I said before I really enjoyed the narrative poetry, but I also enjoyed the lyrical poetry also. I liked many of the authors such as Robert Frost and Emily Dickenson. However, the most interesting of the bunch was E.E. Cummings. I really like the poem maggie and milly and molly and may. This poem just seems to flow and speaks to me. The weirdest poem by far was in Just-spring. The way he uses punctuation (or lack there of ) is odd yet intriguing. Also, he almost never uses capitol letters which is also odd. I like how he plays with the "white space" by randomly spacing apart the words.
