a pretty a day

a pretty a day
(and every fades)
is here and away
(but born are maids
to flower an hour
in all,all)

o yes to flower
until so blithe
a doer a wooer
some limber and lithe
some very fine mower
a tall;tall

some jerry so very
(and nellie and fan)
some handsomest harry
(and sally and nan
they tremble and cower
so pale:pale)

for betty was born
to never say nay
but lucy could learn
and lily could pray
and fewer were shyer
than doll. doll

im not sure if u know e.e. cummings poems well, i am a big fan of e.e. cummings and he would be very disapoinnted if he saw that you put capital letters in his poems, he uses all lower case, and some of his words are put together, for example..a pretty a day is 'hereandaway' to flower an hour...re-read his poems and you'll find out.....don't disappoint cummings
