Cummings through many poems shows a different style of writing which makes the poems interesting to read. With the style of writing cummings shows themes such as nature, human spirit, death, and hatred.
             Cummings broke into the world of poetry and broke every rule. Crossing boundaries no other poet had. "If a poet is anybody, he is somebody to whom things made matter very little- somebody who is obsessed by Making" (Berry 6). He had a very unique form that changed poetry forever.

             chained and immensely padlocked. More like ladders than stairs. Curious hewn .
             windows, smaller in proportion than the slits in a doll's house (1-7).
             With the war under his belt, he then had a new way of thinking.
