A poem that i lke.

Humanity i love you by E. E. Cummings

Humanity i love you
because you would rather black the boots of
success than enquire whose soul dangles from his
watch-chain which would be embarrassing for both

parties and because you
unflinchingly applaud all
songs containing the words country home and
mother when sung at the old howard

Humanity i love you because
when you're hard up you pawn your
intelligence to buy a drink and when
you're flush pride keeps

you from the pawn shops and
because you are continually committing
nuisances but more
especially in your own house

Humanity i love you because you
are perpetually putting the secret of
life in your pants and forgetting
it's there and sitting down

on it
and because you are
forever making poems in the lap
of death Humanity

i hate you

Figuritive language is used when, the author uses 'humanity' and writes it as if it were a human.He tries to imply personification. He kept on saying he loved it. In the 5th paragraph, it had used the word 'sitting down'

I like this poem as it is very soulful and it brings out the writer's feelings of humanity. It also describes how humanity is all about in figuritive form, this poem has open up my eyes and let me see what humanity really is. Although, it may not seem the same to you but i find it quiet riveting. I also like the way he uses contradicyion in his poem. The way he implies the figuritive elements into his poems make me like it even more. This poem is unlike nursery poems. Normally, i would think that poems that rhyme is nice, i did not know this kind of poem is also as nice!
