Poetry Friday: “Spring is like a perhaps hand” by e.e. cummings

It’s been a busy week and although I did write a handful of new poems (thanks, April Halprin Wayland, for a delightfully productive class on Wednesday!), they aren’t ready to see the light of day. So, instead, I give you … 

… Another spring poem! 

This one is from the incomparably weird and sometimes wonderful e.e. cummings: 



Spring is like a perhaps hand

by e.e. cummings 

Spring is like a perhaps hand
(which comes carefully
out of Nowhere)arranging
a window,into which people look(while
people stare arranging and changing placing

carefully there a strange
thing and a known thing here)and

changing everything carefully

…. (Read the rest here, at Poets.org.)
