Blog #4 - What if a much of a which of a wind by E.E. Cummings

I choose to write about this poem, mostly because the title was a tongue twister to read which intrigued me. The first lines of each stanza of this poem are somewhat of tongue twisters. I think poems and other literature that are hard to read at first, force the reader (or at least myself) to re-read the passage and even think about it more. I kept reading this poem over and over trying to understand what he really means. Of course, my evaluation may not be anything related to what he was trying to convey to the reader. What if is always a question people ask themselves. What if this and what if that. I know I ask myself that sometimes, just curious as to what life would be like if I did something different, lived somewhere other than Ohio, or even wore something I normally wouldn't wear one day. How would those simple things have changed how my life is RIGHT NOW. It is something we never know but I am always curious about it. Sometime I want to go back into time and change things, but if that could happen, what would happen to the memories I already have??
