You are my red rose
E E Cummings has a writing style, which is unique. There is no other poet, that has the same writing style as him. He has many characteristics in his poetry, which has been explained in the previous page. After studying the characteristics, which are in his poetry, I have written a poem, which emulates the style of E E Cummings. This poem includes refrences to spring which E E Cummings often uses in his poems to describe love, since romance is one of his main themes in poetry. Similarities regarding the use of grammar and punction are also used, such as, no capital letters and mainly simple and short sentences. Furthermore, literary devices are also used such as change in syntax which is often observed in EE cummings' work and a made up word "Fibright", like Cummings, this was done to emphasize the characteristics between words, in this case the words fire and bright. All these characteristics and more have been taken into account for this poem to imitate the style of E E Cummings.
You are my red rose
i hold this red rose tightly in my hand
gazing at its beauty
it reminds me of your delicacy
my love for you is like a rose
as soft and as fibright
but still so fragile as the touch of your body
yet so innocent
the red rose petals remind me of you
i could hug you safe and tight forever
thinking about those precious moments shared
i see your beauty flying high in the bright blue sky
with the wind following the curves and perfections
pleasing my eyes instantly
just the way i like to see you; so beautiful
the feeling that you give me
gives me goose bumps
making the world go instantly by
colours come and go but you shall always stay
being the day or the night
being the white snow or rays of sunshine
you are the red rose for me
much like the season of spring -
slowly fades away
but comes back in a year.
i shall carry this rose
until my love reaches your heart.
you are my darling you are my world
you are my red rose
