ee cummings love to play with punctuation. Translation:



Black against white sky

Trees which from dropped leaf

A goes whirling.



It's an autumn scene, and a very simple one. He tries to show the whirling motion in the form of the poem and tries to capture some of the excitement it causes him with all the exclamation points.
