I do know who Edward Estlin Cummings is and I can understand why his poetry is appealing. In lieu of an explanation please post your favorite poem, or at least one you enjoy greatly, and explain your interest in it.
I like "since feeling is first" especially. Also he is a fabulous artist (http://www.eecummingsart.com/).
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
1000 Blank White Cards is a Discordian game. It involves having a deck of blank white cards, pens for each player, and some time. There are no rules, save what gets put on cards as they are played.
Here is a set of rules (http://www.geocities.com/nconner23/bwcards.html), but you can largely think of them as guidelines.
... along with, "zort", "troz", and "egad" are the classic catch phrases of Pinky from the Warner Bros. animated shorts (played during Animaniacs) and full-length episodes, "Pinky and the Brain."
The fact that you didn't know this makes me wonder what rock you lived under as a child.
And I'll bite - what exactly is a "brain fuck", since (I'm assuming) it must be a distinctly different from 'mindfuck', especially since, well, who even in all irony is about mindfuck?
Yes, brainfuck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck) is small and scary, and I seriously hope that you do not actually know how to write code in it... why is this an *interest* exactly? I mean, have you taken up writing quines (http://www.e-paranoids.com/q/qu/quine.html#Sample%20quine%20in%20Brainfuck) in brainfuck or something?

That's how he signed his poems, letters, and checks. He wrote to his mother, "I am a little-i poet."
