E.E. Cummings poem summary?

Question

I need summaries for 2 of E.E. Cummings's poems. Preferably ones for his shorters poems. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

If you look online, you can find his poetry pretty easily and most of them are very short. Here are two sites that list several of his poems all at once so you can look through them without too many links (the first site looks more reputable, but the second has a longer list that's easier to look over):

Additionally, there are websites that have summaries, however, most of the summaries deal with the longer poems, and you have to trust the site's author to summarize it properly. Here's one you can look at:

Answer 2

that is a beautiful poem! i love the idea. but who or what is the tattoo for? i think that you should get this part tattooed: "i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)" you don't want to get too much, simple is sometimes better! i am also thinking maybe get two hearts in the background one inside the other! it would be cute! i think it would look good in the middle of your upper back or on your shoulder blade. good luck with everything and i hope it works out for you!
