Spring Equinox today (20th March 2025). I’ve chosen a something playful by E.E.Cummings. It begins like this:
in Just-
spring when the world is mud-
luscious the little
lame balloonman
spring when the world is mud-
luscious the little
lame balloonman
whistles far and wee )
E.E.Cummings (1894-1962)
You can read the whole poem on the excellent Poetry Foundation website. And you can listen to the author reading it on youtube – or try out your own playful vocalisation (I’d be tempted to turn ‘wee’ into “wheeeeeeeeeeee”!)
I will use the poem suggested for today in The Heart’s Time book very soon…
