Spring is like

The spring onslaught continues with this e.e. Cummings poem.

Spring is like a perhaps hand
(which comes carefully
out of Nowhere) arranging
a window,into which people look (while
people stare
arranging and changing placing
carefully there a strange 
thing and a known thing here) and

changing everything carefully

spring is like a perhaps
Hand in a window
(carefully to
and fro moving New and
Old things, while
people stare carefully 
moving a perhaps
fraction of flower here placing 
an inch of air there) and

without breaking anything.

  1. What a great poem - it really made me smile! At the moment it feels as though the beat of the ground under my feet has moved up a gear from the very slow thud it gave throughout winter.
    It also means light when I walk the dog and that can only be a good thing.

    Spring for me is sunny, hot and glorious. I am so happy the sun is out longer now. It makes my heart glad.
