Yay for Spring!!

In Just-
spring when the world is mud-
luscious the little
lame balloonman

whistles far and wee

and eddieandbill come
running from marbles and
piracies and it's
spring

when the world is puddle-wonderful

the queer
old balloonman whistles
far and wee
and bettyandisbel come dancing

from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

it's
spring
and
the

goat-footed

balloonMan whistles
far
and
wee

--e.e. cummings

I LOVE that poem!!!!! In fact, I'm going to recite it outloud right now!

lol, AWESOME!! I imagine it's better outloud than on paper, especially if you're saying it!
