spring approves wholly
lady, my flowers, blood kisses
will to wisdom, a life a fool pays
swear by syntax
this fate of paragraph
for my world pays
better never feeling the things
first is
blood kisses, my lady, flowers
death approves wholly

Shared with dVerse Quadrille #241 – flowers. A poem formed only using words from e.e. cummings ‘since feeling is first’.

BIG E.E. Cummings fan here, and I LOVE this. What a fun challenge in and of itself, to take only the words found in another poem and use them. Well done! I especially love “fate of paragraph.”

Shaun, inventive and creative idea. Will try it one of these days. It’s like have a cummings oracle. (magnet poetry, with a set of magnet words, is an oracle that I love to commune with.) Not sure I wholly get the poem, but it feels dangerous.

what a thoughtful and thought provoking poem – so much to make the reader puzzle – Jae
