O sweet spontaneous
earth how often have
the
doting

     fingers of
prurient philosophers pinched
and
poked

thee
,has the naughty thumb
of science prodded
thy

     beauty     how
often have religions taken
thee upon their scraggy knees
squeezing and

buffeting thee that thou mightest conceive
gods
     (but
true

to the incomparable
couch of death thy
rhythmic
lover

     thou answerest

them only with

spring)

e.e. cummings (1894 – 1962)

P.s.

My first image {hello spring} was my creation from using the tutorial by Kat of Zero the One. I also used a bamboo pen for the handwriting. I love finding tutorials that spruce up my blog posts. One of my favorite places to visit for that and general exploring is Poppytalk!
