Poem Response

In "Anyone Lived In a Pretty How Town" by e.e. cummings, he talks about what you might go through in life. He talks of the seasons, and the weather that passes whenever he is noting it. He talks about how children forget what they know when they are growing up. He talks of marriage and death, arrogance and annoyance. I think he might be talking about how the time fly's by through 9 verses of descriptive feedback on what we go through in life. I enjoyed the part towards the middle when he is talking about someones married their everyones, laughed their cryings and did their dance. That part is like when your half way through your life and he or someone else is getting married. He repeats the lines summer, autumn, winter spring, and sun, moon, stars, rain twice in the poem and the if the seasons and nights go by as fast as you can same them and they just keep going. I really like this poem because it talks about life and love and e.e. cummings is a great poet.

The next poem is "Why Must Itself Up Every of a Park" by e.e. cummings and at the beginning it seems like it talks about statues and how they have had to be jerks to others and a hero in someones perspective. The line That a hero equals any jerk kind of gives away that clue and another is a quote of Generalissimo E. and it was "Nothing" in 1944 AD "Can stand against the argument of military necessity" but there is a space between mil and itary for some reason maybe it means that if the the military gets too large and out of control it should split itself in half or maybe it means something else. Towards the end it sounds like he is talking of paying taxes and how, you pays your money and you doesn't take your choice, that we don't have a choice on what we want but what the government wants or wants us to do and we supply it with money so they can. The last sentence, Ain't freedom grand, says something like even though we are free we really aren't. A poem that relates to it I think is Why the Caged Bird Sings, where we can see all around us but we really can't go there, we force ourselves to thinking that we are free but in true reality we aren't.
