                    The first challenge:

                    The poem is assigned...

                    somehwere i have never travelled,gladly beyond
                    any experience,your eyes have their silence:
                    in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
                    or which i cannot touch because they are too near

                    your slightest look easily will unclose me
                    though i have closed myself as fingers,
                    you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
                    (touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose

                    or if your wish be to close me,i and
                    my life will shut very beautifully,suddenly,
                    as when the heart of this flower imagines
                    the snow carefully everywhere descending;

                    nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
                    the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
                    compels me with the colour of its countries,
                    rendering death and forever with each breathing

                    (i do not know what it is about you that closes
                    and opens;only something in me understands
                    the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
                    nobody,not even the rain, has such small hands

                    e.e.cummings
