What an interesting poem.
I'm definitely going to read up on the other ones you mentioned as well.
E. E. Cummings has such a unique style, I like it a lot.
Though I sometimes find it difficult to understand, because he doesn't stick to the usual rules of punctuation and syntax.

Mhm. 'May I Feel' is tongue-in-cheek. The others are quite a bit more lyrical in their licentiousness.
Tbh, I'm surprised no one's brought up EEC's most famous work: I Carry Your Heart With Me.
Is it cuz it's romantic as opposed to raunchy? 😂

E.E. Cummings was known for throwing the rulebook out when it came to punctuations and syntax. This simple yet scandalous (to the literary world, at least) act of writing rebellion allowed EEC to bring a visual element and aural playfulness that is resonant of the words and sentiment he writes.
Here is one of his poems I mentioned earlier that I thought oughta have more erotic spotlight. It is written the way he wanted it with his signature staccato:
I like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite new a thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric furr, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh...And eyes big love-crumbs,
and possibly i like the thrill
of under me you so quite new

Why is this particular poem of EEC so popular? Ok it's cheeky but I find a couple of his other poems much better: "I like my body" and "Lady I will touch you" are more erotic, imho.

Maybe Noah to host a poetry recital?
A collab with other VAs or any of ze bagels be interesting. I don’t know how that works on YouTube or Patreon but I joined a Discord group for musicians and they do live recitals there. Just an idea. I would attend (timezone permitting lol).

Thank you, I thought it would be fun to try and mimick the style of the original poem when asking for more poetry read by Noah. 😄

I love this poem. Playful, but a little sinister - the last line crossing over the acceptance of the complications of the fact that the man has a wife.
I commend the cadence, btw 💛

I’d love more of these please 🥺 I was not expecting to like that so much lol
After listening to that, I’d love to hear more audios where he reads us erotic poems or novels

I can’t wait until the pandemic is over.
One of the things I miss and want to do is attend a reading/performance of romantic and erotic poetry. Dear lord, when?

Flirtation is always sexy…
…but I draw the line at extramarital affairs. I’ve seen one too many and the fallout is almost always a disaster.
Don’t mind me. It’s just one of my non-negotiables in a relationship. I’m strictly monogamous. No judgement on those who prefer and who are in open relationships. That’s a different situation altogether.

Well now...that was delightfully full of...incentives for misbehavior.
