maggie and milly and molly and may
by e.e. cummings
maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach (to play one day)
and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn’t remember her troubles,and
milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;
and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and
may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.
For whatever we lose(like a you or a me)
it’s always ourselves we find in the sea
One of my favourite poems. I love the work of this poet and check out the flickr photo I found as an illustration to it. The link is in the title of the poem.
I have prints for sale in my etsy shop now. Also if there is a picture of mine you would like a print of from my flickr site or easier look here at my website and I can arrange it for you.
Thanks! and happy saturday!
