This poem by e.e.cummings was the very first poem that I posted for Craven to include in the Realm. I still love it and feel that we all fit into one of the characterizations so simply but impressively designed. Are you a Maggie or a Millie or a Mollie or a May?

May definitely a May tons of great beach rocks in this apartment. But it was a hard choice I love the sound of the sea in shells.

Joanne, I really don't think that e.e. meant that poem to be taken literally.
I see the children as symbolic of personality types.

I tend to be a Molly, because strange and new things often cause me to be apprehensive. If reason doesn't work, then I run.

You ought to read Cummings, "Baloon Man" sometimes. WOW!
