ee cummings poem

i carry your heart with me i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling) i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet) i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

This poem is by ee cummings and I decided to chose this poem because it is one of my all-time favorites, besides Dr. Seuss. When I read poetry, I first notice if the lines flow together throughout each stanza and the first detection of this flow is through rhyming. This poem doesn't have an exact "ab ab" rhyming pattern, but the lines that do rhyme seem to be more emphasized and more important for the reader to notice. I like how ee cummings created his own rhythmic pattern and not the standard "ab ab" because that standard pattern reminds me of childish poetry like Dr. Seuss would write. However, the main reason why I chose this poem and why it is my favorite is because of the content. This poem is romantic and passionate, but this true love that ee cummings is professing can be interpreted towards anyone. At first glance, one would think that ee cummings wrote this poem for a lover. After I read this poem a few times, I started to think of my sister and of my best friends whom I have strong relationships with. I enjoy this poem because it describes the truest, deepest love that can be found in anyone you are close to. Whenever I think of love, I think of this poem and how it has stuck with me since the first time I read it. I really love this poem and I hope that you find it as nice as I do!
