First Poem that Impacted You

[serge gurkski]

Not an English one of course, but as to English a lot of stuff by e e cummings, Dylan Thomas and James Joyce.

ee cummings:

in Just-


in Just-

spring when the world is mud-

luscious the little

lame balloonman



whistles far and wee



and eddyandbill come

running from marbles and

piracies and it’s

spring



when the world is puddle-wonderful



the queer

old balloonman whistles

far and wee

and bettyandisbel come dancing



from hop-scotch and jump-rope and



it’s

spring

and

the



goat-footed



balloonMan whistles

far

and

wee
