Poem of the Week by e.e. cummings
One of my favorite poets is e.e. cummings. I'm drawn to his playfulness with language and his humor, and also to the occasional lustyness of his poetry. A newly released collection called Erotic Poems gathers 50 of his romantic and lusty poems along with 12 drawings by the poet.
there is a
moon sole
in the blue
night
amorous of waters
tremulous,
blinded with silence the
undulous heaven yearns where
in tense starlessness
anoint with ardor
the yellow lover
stands in the dumb dark
svelte
and
urgent
(again
love i slowly
gather
of thy languorous mouth the
thrilling
flower)
