is 5 is a collection of poetry by E. E. Cummings, published in 1926. [1] It contains 88 poems, divided into five sections.

The collection includes a number of satirical and anti-war poems, perhaps influenced by Cummings' time spent as an ambulance driver in France during the First World War. Notable poems from the collection are " my sweet old etcetera" and " since feeling is first".
