April 17, 200422 yr from ee cummings "1(a" 1(a le af fa ll s) one l iness Is this guy friggin' stupid? I swear, how is that considered art?
April 17, 200422 yr here's the poem i always use to win over the women: "roses are red, violets are blue...lets go get some ribs and get busy"
April 17, 200422 yr Author the poem roughly translates to this: one (a leaf falls) one liness which pretty much means "a leaf falls in lonliness", it's really stupid.
April 17, 200422 yr Author look at these poetry dweebs falling in love with it: http://plagiarist.com/poetry/?action=comments&wid=241
April 17, 200422 yr oh how...romantic yeah i know, it always works out to an extent. but one day though ill eat those ribs with a woman sitting across from me
April 18, 200422 yr one (a leaf falls) one liness how is that bad? ... leafs falling ... which could prolly mean its during autumm, which is the most emotional of all seasons... a leaf falling coule mean the separation of what was once attached to you, and now its wasted away. the way it was written could mean the way that he felt, like he wanted the reader to decipher the content of it ... the fact that he was alone but didnt wanna just show it at first glance. Maybe he feels like the leaf ... which is falling, to nothing, to dry up and die... or maybe he's the tree that lost something.
April 18, 200422 yr from ee cummings "1(a" 1(a le af fa ll s) one l iness Is this guy friggin' stupid? I swear, how is that considered art? actually look it a little longer ... the poem starts with the number 1 ... which is a lonely number of course.... than towards the middle he spells the word ONE again... singularity. give it some thought, its more imagery than actual word usage. its awesome
April 18, 200422 yr Author know, it is not. I know what the poem means, but it isn't that earth shattering. Is this a poem? 1(all ways kn ows eye msma ter th an) u No! I get the meaning behind the poem, but it surely not the work of genius. Okay, a leaf falls alone, he feels alone, and he uses the number "one", a lonely number. Big whoop. I cannot believe people know and LIKE this poem and not other far greater pieces of literature.
April 18, 200422 yr yeah but did you come up with it ... no thats the beauty of it ... its like art ... it could be as simple as a bycicle handle on a bycicle chair, together they form a bulls head .... thats really really simple, picasso did that ... is he not a genious? ...and you cant come up with it, you can say ohh i can do that, but you didn't
April 18, 200422 yr I think its art. Hes using more than just words to communicate his feelings at the time by making the words look like a falling leaf. Clever if you ask me.
April 19, 200422 yr i tend to agree with shamrizzle....and no one said cummings was a genius. It can be a great poem w/out being genius.
April 19, 200422 yr Author No, here's the problem: the poem isn't that deep. Okay, he's lonely. BIG WHOOP. Anyone who considers this a great piece of art must not have good taste. He was probably drunk, sad, alone, and wrote it in 20 seconds. This would explain every aspect of the poem (it's organization, it's message, and it's mentioning of his emotions feeling like a falling leaf). The work is therefore not genius, it is the dumbest well reknowned poem ever. If you want to read poetry about loneliness, life and death, and such that are actually DEEP, try reading Walt Whitman. 1)a is a piece of crap because it really doesn't mean all that much. You guys can disagree with me, but please, how is this poem deep? At all? Should a man's drunken rambling be considered art?
April 19, 200422 yr Author Sorry if I'm taking this too seriously, I don't want to impose my view of art on others. If it were up to me, impressionism and expressionism wouldn't even exist!
April 19, 200422 yr Im saying its genious and I think the word genious is relative in any case. WW is the man fo sho.
April 19, 200422 yr Sorry if I'm taking this too seriously, I don't want to impose my view of art on others. If it were up to me, impressionism and expressionism wouldn't even exist! spare him god ... please, afterall he's just blind
