It's Spring!











Chansons Innocentes: I
by E. E. Cummings 

in Just-

spring when the world is mud-

luscious the little

lame balloonman


whistles far and wee


and eddieandbill 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

I love e.e. cummings -- and I used to teach this poem (among others of his) when I worked with 7th and 8th graders. What fun!
