Here's to the great e.e.cummings
who answered his muses weird summons,
sharing words folks would glance through,
each assured his pen danced to,
the beat of quite different drummings.

I love the sly reference to Cummings eccentric style in your final line
the beat of quite different drummings.
he certainly did dance to a different drummer when compared to so many of his contemporaries.
Well done
