There are no rhymes in this poem but as you could see, the form justifies the entire composition. "l(a" talks about being one and alone. The image of a leaf has always used by writers to suggest loneliness and you could very well see it also in this peace. The division of letters or characters also highlights parting.

Just pasted that into notepad to remove the carriage returns, interesting poem.
I wonder why a leaf is taken to represent loneliness?
After all they usually appear in groups... On trees for example...
I don't know but it has always been used as the symbolism for that emotion from writers before until now.
The informations are so lovely and so usefull so thank you very much. Be sure i will use all of them keeping in my mind.Have a goog luck.
