  3. “O Sweet Spontaneous” The poem is industrially influenced in that Cummings seems to be quite dismayed by all of the technological advances that mankind has achieved. He seems to think that humans are racing toward their own self-destruction rather than simply appreciating all that nature has to offer. Photo by: http://crazysalad.typepad.com/crazysalad/photos/

  4. “Thy Fingers Make Early Flowers Of” This poem is directed toward a woman, Cummings is probably trying to say that love is a fleeting emotion,  but an important one. The poem is not particularly modern, other than the way that it is written, and does not seem to have a clear industrial influence. The poem displays emotion over reasoning and has a very sentimental view of love. Courtesy of: http://lovepoems.yu-hu.com/cummings/Thy_fingers_make_early_flowers.shtml
