Uhhmm.. How do I start?? First let me congratulate Mr. Edward Estlin Cummings for his job well done.. God, he has a very EXTRAORDINARY mind!! Wow!! Congratulations Mr. E.E. Cummings for making it to the Guiness Book of World Records Most Complicated Poem Ever!!

ahaha.. Just kidding.. hahayz.. Okay, let me just tell all of you what this bunch of letters mean to me..

According to my puny, little brain, The arrangement of letters mean a lot. If you read this poem in one line it goes like this "l(a leaf falls)oneliness".. As i what i have learned in math(with the help of my ever dearest Calculus teacher Mr. Roberto Basadre) we should follow the P.M.D.A.S.(Parenthesis. Multiplication. Division. Addition.Subtraction rule.. So if we follow the P.M.D.A.S., we start with the parenthesis.. (a leaf falls).. If you remember what happens during fall, leaves fall(redundant keu oi!! ahahah).. If a leaf fall, it seperates from it's tree.. If we are to compare it to humans, It's like seperating from your family! It's pure, plain loneliness!!

This brings us to our second word.. LONELINESS.. If we will delete the phrase inside the parenthesis(a leaf falls).. We will have Loneliness.. As what I have said earlier, the falling leaf relates to loneliness which makes perfect sense.. I think this what the author wants to deliver.. LONELINESS..

Sir Elmer told us to make emphasis in the use of font styles .. As you can see above, small letter L looks more like number 1.. If you analyze it critically, one is associated with loneliness. Why? Simply because number always mean being alone.. One.. If you try to sum them all up.. One message is conveyed.. LONELINESS!!.. But why is there loneliness??

Did you notice how the word Loneliness was wisely divided?? Small letter L(more like number1) is separated from the word oneliness.. Oneliness literally means unity.. State of being one.. Can you relate now how the word was cleverly divided?.. One letter separates unity and loneliness.. Small letter L which in this poem stands for number 1. tsk3x.. Get the picture??

If you might remember, number 1 also mean another thing. Being at the Top!! Being the best!! If you try adding number 1(small letter L) to the word oneliness. It forms loneliness. The author wanted to point out that his being the best was what lead him to his sadness..

Lets get back with the phrase "a leaf falls".. This phrase mean that the leaf has separated from the tree.. If we try to connect it with the above discussions, his being the best was what seperated him from the rest..

If my analysis was correct, the message of the poem would be "Success is sometimes dangerous!" Either your head has grown or others have envied you.."
