on l(a... (a leaf falls on loneliness) by e e cummings, on October 5, 2006I do like the arrangement of the vowels and consonants in the lines that express "a leaf falls". The way it is set, alternatively, it's like the leaf is spiralling downward, each time showing its other face, like back front back front. and where the "one" comes in the 7th line, it's like it's swaying a little upward, and then a last turn and then a hiss to a stop. The hissing sound also depicts the silence.. almost like "Shhhh... let it now rest in peace..."
Autumn season and maple leaves falling is what I've always seen as beautiful yet sad. Autumn itself is a season of loneliness. Even people like to take lonely walks on a leaf littered path. And it has this ancient/old look to it with that brown crumpled colour... I'm always awed at poetry that uses the least words to evoke multitudes of sentiments and images...
In this poem, it could also be the last leaf of the tree, and of the season. Now isn't that stunning? -
on i carry your heart with me by e e cummings, on October 5, 2006
Breath-taking!
this is such a beautiful piece that shows what the reader wants to express and is gilded by his thoughts that just cant help loving her, nor stop thinking about her.
simple words I do believe are the best way to express love, because within these easy words a deeper meaning lies which holds more value.
absolutely wonderful, with great use of punctuation and parentheses.
I applaud this!!
Awesome!!
oh my gosh.. this is so totally awesome.. LOL!!it's the first time I've read Anne Sexton, and gosh, it's pretty hard to believe that she had mental breakdowns due to depression..
i totally love the way she creates a parody out of the classic.
