“Loneliness” is as very sad yet very beautifully written poem by Laura Cortes born in the year 1981. The poem is undoubtedly one of the most recognized works by Laura and includes a strong interesting theme, appropriate choice of words and a unique sense of symbolism. In fact, the poem uses symbolism to create a link between the past and the present (Bertman, pp.165). In fact, the e poem includes several lines, which appears to reflect the similarities in the eyes of the poet between harvesting apples and also harvesting the life itself.
