The principal objective of this article is to explore how the earth is reflected in one of the famous poems of the 19th century American poet E.E. Cummings “O sweet spontaneous” published in 1920. This paper seeks to analyze this experimental poem from the ecocritical perspective which deals with the study of man's relationships with this earth along with his perception and conception of her disposition. This paper, which is based on the qualitative descriptive study, considers the earth as sweet and spontaneous. The earth is represented as a generous, gentle and compliant mother, whereas philosophers, scientists and religious figures are represented as active, destructive and notorious forces. This article, which concludes that earth is great and good, is expected to be significant to those who are involved in teaching and learning poems from the ecocritical perspective.

Earth, ecocriticism, philosopher, religion, scientist.
