An ordinary person will find it too hard for him to understand the poem written above. Probably, that person will even not be interested in trying to understand it. What makes this poem different and not easy to comprehend is its structure and content. At first, I found the poem weird. Weird because it was written that way and I didn’t see the point of the writing it that way. “Why do people consider it an art?” is what I suddenly said after reading it for only five seconds. And after several reading-it-all-over-agains, maybe I got the point. l ) a for me means being alone. Actually I read the poem as a leaf falls loneliness. I don’t know if it makes sense. But all I can interpret from the poem is loneliness. (That’s the title.) But this loneliness is accompanied by solitude which makes it lonelier. Maybe the author was in extreme loneliness while writing this. I also noticed that if you take the phrase a leaf falls from the poem, what’s left is loneliness. Exciting! And after noticing that little excitement, I just can conclude that the poem is so full of loneliness. I believe that a person can find beauty in solitude. I find it amazing when people can write beautiful things amidst loneliness. It is very hard but what output you get is unbelievable. I’m sure the writer used the old typewriter that is why the poem was written that way. After gathering this information, I can really say that it all boils down to the point of being lonely. As Christille wrote in her blog, the need for hibernation something, we need to give valuable time for ourselves to reflect and contemplate about certain things in our life. In doing this, we can see the value of silence. And in silence, you can hear a lot of things you won’t hear in you everyday life. These things you will hear teach you a different side of life. But too much of something is bad enough as a song of the Spice Girls says. You can go crazy if all you do is be alone. I think we were not made to live in this world just to be alone. We were made for certain wonderful purposes and I know that these purposes don’t require us to be alone. It’s just a matter of self worth. Give yourself a break and look at the beauty of life.
