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

I believe that the poem is suposed to say a leaf falls in loneliness
because its by its self and alone instead of clumped together on top of the
tree
the words a leaf falls is inside the word loneliness if you straiten it
out
l(a leaf falls)oneliness

My english class read and evaluated this poem. I really enjoy Cummings'
"off the wall" way of writting. I did enjoy this poem. My thesis paper for
English will be on E.E. Cummings.

We had to read this poem in class by E.E. Cummings. The class then
evaluated it. My class has to do a thesis paper on a famous poet, we have
to prove why they did what they did, amoung other things... I enjoy his
"off the wall" writting. I have some grest information on him.

The poem by E.E. Cummings is a "visual poem". Our teacher told us that if
you look at the hole poem and you regarde only the letters in total you can
see that the structure of the letters is like a the movement of a leaf
falling down of a tree. It is hardly to explain, but there is a bit of
truth in it...

I think that this poem is about being the first one to break away from
everything else (feeling how lonley it is to be the first leaf falling from
the tree)

I'm going to have to go with the assumption that E.E. Cummings was a
homosexual....and at the time of writing this poem, he may have been going
through a dry spell (a.k.a. no cummings). No pun intended.

i believe that this poem is about a leaf falling. the words in parenthases
read " a leaf falls" the letters on the outside read "loneliness" i believe
the shape is just there to form a "falling" pattern to express the thoughts
of this poem.

This guy writes the most illegible drivel I've ever read. Seriously, how in
the hell is he considered a poet? 5 year olds put this guy to shame as far
as sentence structure is concerned. God forbid he write sentences like
everone else. I guess stroke patients can't be expected to function
normally. And don't respond to this comment and tell me he was a great poet
and I can't comprehend the beauty of his poetry.
