"love is more thicker than forget"

May you be abundantly loved & radiantly lifted.

[love is more thicker than forget]

by e.e. cummings

love is more thicker than forget
more thinner than recall
more seldom than a wave is wet
more frequent than to fail

it is most mad and moonly
and less it shall unbe
than all the sea which only
is deeper than the sea

love is less always than to win
less never than alive
less bigger than the least begin
less littler than forgive

it is most sane and sunly
and more it cannot die
than all the sky which only
is higher than the sky

The syntax of small children is full of invention. Choose one emotion and render it out as a small child would. What emotion catches you, eludes or energizes you? Describe it. Be not fully in control of the words, loopy and lilting. Let it tell you something new.
