Pagan Poetry

This is the poem I chose to analyze for a paper for my literature class.

"IN JUST-" 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
