Question:

What's your favorite poem?

I'm doing a project on what poems people of all kinds like. This project is based after an interesting book some man wrote (there are a few now) when he interviewed random people around him. So, yea, just anyone's favorite poem and how they heard of it. Thanks!

I Carry Your Heart


I carry your heart with me
(I carry it in
my heart)
I am never without it
(anywhere I go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
I fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)
I want no world
(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root
and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;
which grows
higher than the soul
can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart(I carry it in my heart)

EE Cummings

He wrote this back in 1958. This is a awesome poet.
