I fell in love with cummins in high school and bought every one of his books as well as a complete collection. I started to mark all of my favorites and had so many marks that it really became useless. I read and reread his work. Some of my favorites are (first lines):
if feeling is first;
touching you i say, it being spring and night;
it may not always be so;
the heartbreaking: i sing of olaf glad and big;
the hilarious: nobody loses all of the time;
the sweet: anyone lived in a little how town;
the stark: the wind has blown the rain away;
and the eerie: listen
