Well, first of all, its E. E. Cummings, but LJ interests are forced lower-case.
I like his sexual poems, like "she being brand" and "i like my body when it is with your".
Even outside of his "sex poems", his lyrical patterns are astounding ("Adult nursery rhymes" one of my Cummings collections calls them). And his romance poems are super sweet. See below.
if everything happens that can't be done (and anything's righter than books could plan) the stupidest teacher will almost guess (with a run skip around we go yes) there's nothing as something as one
one hasn't a why or because or although (and buds know better than books don't grow) one's anything old being everything new (with a what which around we go who) one's everyanything so
so world is a leaf is a tree is a bough (and birds sing sweeter than books tell how) so here is away and so your is a my (with a down up around again fly) forever was never till now
now i love you and you love me (and books are shutter than books can be) and deep in the high that does nothing but fall (with a shout each around we go all) there's somebody calling who's we
we're everything brighter than even the sun (we're everything greater than books might mean) we're everyanything more than believe (with a spin leap alive we're alive) we're wonderful one times one
