i carry your heart I like it because it’s so sweet! It really describes love perfe- ctly, in cummings’s abstract and beautiful way. i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling) i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

up into the silence the green
Again, I like it for the sweetness, and also the way it captures early morning drowsiness, the start of a day. up into the silence the green silence with a white earth in it you will(kiss me)go out into the morning the young morning with a warm world in it (kiss me)you will go on into the sunlight the fine sunlight with a firm day in it you will go(kiss me down into your memory and a memory and memory i)kiss me,(will go)

Analytical paragraph: up into the silence the green
The lack of structure creates a vague, dream-like tone in the poem, for example, “on into the sunlight the fine/sunlight with a firm day in it”. This fits in with the time of day that it’s describing, early morning, for early morning tends to have a lingering scent of the dreaminess and vagueness of night.

Why a modernist? Simply, different
Complete disregard for grammar (punctuation) Mix-and-match with words No apparent structure

Freedom is a breakfastfood
