if you like my poems let them by E. E. Cummings

if you like my poems let them
walk in the evening,a little behind you

then people will say
"Along this road i saw a princess pass
on her way to meet her lover(it was
toward nightfall)with tall and ignorant servants."

Analysis
E.E. Cummings sticks to his style by writing his poem in lowercase letters. When says, "if you like my poems let them walk in the evening,a little behind you," it's as if he wants you to keep them in mind. The second stanza establishes what happens if you do keep his poems in mind. He tells us that we can see "a princess pass on her way to meet her lover (it was toward nightfall) with tall and ignorant servants." This being said, putting E.E. Cummings poems behind you allow you to see the world in his point of view.

An interesting thing is how there's only one capitalized letting in the poem. Capitalizing only one letter brings a bigger contrast to the rest of the poem. It can be used to show that this is what you can see if you were to like my poems. But another interesting thing is when Cummings has to point out the time when the person sees the princess and puts it separately from the rest.
