[admin] March 2006 themes

Okay, maybe this is a little bit TOO early for you guys, but I'm going to be away from the PC for the next few weeks of February to March and will only be posting sporadically... ^_^;;

So, I decided to just post these up now before I forget...



An E.E. Cummings Fixation


March 1: Yes is a pleasant country

March 2: Nothing false and possible

March 3: A sunbeam's architecture; a mountain's heartbeat

March 4: The truth to summer's lie

March 5: A good universe next door

March 6: Shall hate counfound the wise? doubt blind the brave?

March 7: Hate blows a bubble of despair

March 8: I say no world can hold a you

March 9: Nothing quite so least as truth

March 10: Praising a forehead called the moon

March 11: To fabricate unknown-ness

March 12: Eternity's a five year plan

March 13: To morning's beautiful friend, twilight

March 14: His autumn's winter being summer's spring

March 15: The silent whys of such a deathlessness

March 16: The music of spring lives

March 17: Eat of her voice

March 18: God's terrible face

March 19: The image of one fatal word

March 20: Eyes which are really petals

March 21: Frailer than most deep dreams

March 22: Your body's whitest song

March 23: The ragged meadow of my soul

March 24: What could be more beautiful than these heroic happy dead?

March 25: Bring forth your flowers and machinery

March 26: She being brand new

March 27: Nobody loses all the time; there is no excuse for May

March 28: You of my heart; Spring is like a perhaps hand

March 29: Accept all happiness from me

March 30: Into the silver dawn

March 31: Thy fingers make early flowers of all things; to be thy lips is a sweet thing


NOTES:

These are all phrases from a collection of E.E Cummings' best poems. Putting this list together was quite a challenge for me, because E.E Cummings has a lyricism that is profound and unique. You read one of his poems and you understand it. You take it apart and read snatches of lines and there is still something very beautiful in them.

I came up with this list last year, but I've added a few additional lines to some of the themes I felt were rather bare. And if you'll notice, most of the themes are also fixated on certain parts of the body like the eyes and the face. And seasons as well as music also in others. I hope you will all enjoy writing with these themes as much as I've enjoyed putting them together!

Fic away! ^_^
