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.
