e.e. cummings was an underrated satirist.

"next to of course god america i
love you land of the pilgrims' and so forth oh
say can you see by the dawn's early my
country 'tis of centuries come and go
and are no more what of it we should worry
in every language even deafanddumb
thy sons acclaim your glorious name by gorry
by jingo by gee by gosh by gum
why talk of beauty what could be more beaut-

I'm bad at poetry, but i liked it.

It was refreshing.

I'm mostly a fan of some of his love poems. They're so quiet and tender and playful. Sometimes I like them better than the more grr-passion-Pablo-Neruda type of love poems.

And his erotic poetry is very good too.

Oh yes! How could I forget.
