Ric, what I love about e.e. cummings is his imaginative, and to me whimsical, use of words. “anyone lived in a pretty town” is one of my favorites, along with the beautiful “somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond”.

somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look will easily unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose

Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” is of course a classic. You have just motivate me to go back to poets.org, a great site I have not been to in a while. Thanks!
