anyone lived in a pretty how town Remake

anyone lived in a pretty how town
by E.E. Cummings

anyone lived in a pretty how town 
(with up so floating many bells down)
spring summer autumn winter
he sang his didn’t he danced his did.

Women and men(both little and small)
cared for anyone not at all
they sowed their isn’t they reaped their same
sun moon stars rain

children guessed( only a few
and down they forgot as up they grew
autumn winter spring summer)
that loved him more by more

when by now and tree by leaf
she laughed his joy she cried his grief
bird by snow and stir by still
anyone’s any was all to her

someones married their everyones
laughed their cryings and did their dance
(sleep wake hope and then)they
said their nevers they slept their dream

stars rain sun moon
(and only the snow can begin to explain
how children are apt to forget to remember
with up so floating many bells down)

one day anyone died i guess
(and noone stooped to kiss his face)
busy folk buried them side by side
little by little and was by was

all by all and deep by deep
and more by more they dream their sleep
noone and anyone earth by april
wish by spirit and if by yes.

Women and men(both dong and ding)
summer autumn winter spring
reaped their sowing and went their came

sun moon stars rain

noone died in a pretty how town
by Brooke Kelly

Children lived and laughed in that pretty town
Anyone sang and danced in that pretty town
Women and men, both married and loved,
Dream a pretty dream in their sleep
But the stars and rain and sun and moon
Only wish the same for that pretty town
Buried by spirit and joy
Noone sang cryings or grief
Noone died in their sleep
They wake and then
Deep by deep, floating in that pretty town

  1. Brooke I love this! I feel like your remix is very descriptive and does a good job evoking a sort of dreamy and whimsical feeling. I interpreted that this poem is about an ideal world, almost like heaven. I actually enjoy it much more than the original!
