E. E. Cummings

Yguduh

Yguduh - meaning Summary

Broken Speech, Comic Critique

The poem uses playful, phonetic spelling to dramatize miscommunication and the limits of standard understanding. It presents fragmented voices and urges attentive listening—"LISN bud LISN"—while suggesting that others are misunderstood or dismissed. The odd orthography mimics accent, babble, or inner speech, forcing readers to slow down and hear rhythms and attitudes that ordinary spelling would erase. Ultimately it stages a brief plea to recognize unfamiliar speech as meaningful.
