Nearly 40 years after first seeing this poem, I still feel the unity of loneliness and oneliness when I watch a leaf fall. The simple textual and visual beauty never ceases to touch me with great emotional power.

(To: Morgan from US.) Anyone can write a sentence sweetie. I'm not going to say it's some great poem or that he is a great poet, but don't waste your time trying to bash other people; because all you're doing is mking yourself look like an idiot. Poetry is meant to be different. Not some formulated sentence that everyone understands.

oneliness is split off of loneliness, and further split it's
"one
liness"
one—one leaf falling. Get it?
