This is my all-time favorite poem. I used to have a black t shirt with 'one day anyone died i guess (and no one stooped to kiss his face) ' custom lettered on it in white. Needless to say I got blank stares.
Other have expressed what I feel about this poem already but I just wanted to add my voice. I first read it in 7th grad in Language Arts and it just stunned me how much I loved it.

Life cycles just as the earths natural cycles, but it is possible to go through our life cycle..without really living...'they sowed their isn't they reaped their same'..being just 'anyone in a pretty how town'

I love this poem... I love ee cummings's work anyway, and this is one of my favorites of his (even if it was my evil language arts teacher who introduced me to it) . This is definitely going to be saved...

It's a poem about growing older, finding love, growing even older, and ultimately, dying.

This is by far my favorite poem of all time! It's a poem about love. Anyone and Noone are actually people who are madly in love with each other. They share their lives and their dreams together and there's not any other person on earth who could understand them. They were special to each other. Then when anyone dies, they 'buried them side by side, ' meaning that they were so close that they died nearly at the exact same time that they could be buried together. This poem reminds me of my grandparents. They are just like the couple in this poem!

I absolutely LOVE this poem. It's a bit difficult to fully understand, I think, because Cummings uses his words together in ways that could mean many different things. This poem seems to be partly about life's cycle. This is what immediately stands out to me....the different seasons he speaks of/seasons of life, people reaping and sowing, etc. And then there is 'anyone'....VERY interesting, me thinks!

Isn't this one of the best poems of the 20th century, especially for poets?
