Today Bella is outside again dipping into the mud puddles and one of my favorite e. e. cummings poems drifted into my head… mud-luscious! puddle-wonderful! So I thought I’d share.
Unfortunately my blog software will probably mess up the spacing; but there’s not much I can do about it.
in Just-
spring when the world is mud-
luscious the little
lame balloonmanwhistles far and wee
and eddieandbill come
running from marbles and
piracies and it’s
springwhen the world is puddle-wonderful
the queer
old balloonman whistles
far and wee
and bettyandisbel come dancingfrom hop-scotch and jump-rope and
it’s
spring
and
thegoat-footed
balloonMan whistles
far
and
wee—e. e. cummings
Hi, Melanie. I’ve just come across some information I thought you and your husband and daughter Isabella might deeply enjoy. It turns out that anyone named “Isabella” gets free admission to the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum, *forever.* It says so on their information page!
I enjoy your blog.
Best wishes,
Nancy
Do you have “The Belly Button Book” by Sandra Boynton? It is a huge hit around our house…it’s just so funny and sweet!
