Poetry Thursday (mud-luscious :)

It's happened. 

It's actually spring in Minnesota.  Our family went for our inaugural first bike ride of the year last night and I could have sang the Hallelujah chorus the entire way.  In honor of that feeling - some e.e. cummings....

[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
