I think this poem is about... well... loneliness! I'm only eight, so I
have no necessarity to write anything else! Peace out! (exclamation point
lol)

I like how the poet made a play on words, and made the last word look like
a falling leaf.

I like the fact that when you first encounter this poem it's usually in a
book with several other poems around it (on the other pages) and it seems
to have drifted into the book (or onto the webpage...) like a leaf being
pressed in the pages....... I also think it silly to assume the first "L"
to be anything other than an "L". The "l"'s are all over the poem helping
the imagery of the VERY LETTER "L"........as in "leaf" as in "lonliness" as
in "faLLs"......as in a poem shaped like an "L", pressed between the pages
of a book????????? hmmmmmmmmmm................. So, yeah, definately not a
number one.........it's SPELLED out. I love the very existance of this
wonderful poem.

I think this poem means that a leaf falls in lonliness because the "a leaf
is falling is enclosed in the lonliness. but whatever.

A leaf falls on loneliness seems to be either a sequl or a post !blac poem.
This poem truly represents the changing of something. It also seems as
though this poem was written at the end of E.E. Cummings life for a reason.
A leaf falling from a tree marks the change of seasons. This could
represent something that is special to E.E. Cummings.

Maybe the poem is simple and it has't attracted you at first sight.Read it
some times and you will find something about real life.

A tree is covered by many leaves, and in the fall when it loses its leaves
they all tend to fall within the same time period of a week or so. A leaf
doesn't fall alone, so he is not lonely, but he is still one leaf falling
from a tree. "oneliness"

I could have sworn that it began with an L and not a 1
