Young grasshopper...snatch this fly out of my hand :) aliasink November 14 2005, 18:42:32 UTC
"grasshopper, who, as we look, now upgathering into himself, leaps, arriving to become, rearrangingly, a grasshopper."

am i so good i deciphered that poem an instant after reading it...nooooooooo, sorry HELL NO...GOOGLE IT BABY!

but it's creative none the less.
sorry if this deflated the mystery behind it.

oh no fair googling it! lol. but hey, no matter how you figure out what it means, if you can figure out the basic meaning, that's great... it leads to the development of a deeper meaning for each person.

you guys should really check out some other e.e. cummings poems. he's my favourite poet. the stuff he writes is really phenomenal. full of double meanings, twisting of words, play with punctuation and capitalisation... it's just mind boggling!
if you look at this poem with the layout intended by the poet (not the one here) it actually looks somewhat like a grasshopper. takes a lot of imagination, but then again, so do all of e.e. cummings' poems.
