May I refer you to The Number Guy's comment?WickedEve in a public comment said:A question, though. Why is "of all" and "you left" on lines of their own? I can understand "departed," and the other two may be simply fine, but they seem a bit odd to me.
Thankyou, m'sieu twelve. In fact, I hadn't seen this fortuitous fact until Angeline granted me her editor's input. That's why they remain on lines on their own.twelveoone in a different comment said:of all
you left.
Departed.
says something on it's own.
I left the paired words as a playing with meaning, although these are all synonyms of the other word, they also stand alone in their definitions with differing nuances. Once again, that perceptive reader answers my questions for me.flyguy69 also in a comment said:but redundencies (golden/amber, verdent/green, chill/frost) detract
twelveoone again said:I did not see them as reducdancies rather as reinforced images, that fact that they are paired shows me deliberation.
It may, a girl can hope. But, you see, this poem isn't just about lovers leaving, it's about beloved ones leaving. My grandparents both died in an autumn, less than a year apart. Several people I have spoken with about this kind of thing have also lost family in the autumn. It is a time of goodbye and amber dying. So, even though the damned sun shone, there were clouds in my sky on those days.flyguy69 getting a 2 for 1 Q & A said:and why, in S2: "even though the sun yet glinted"? Does the sun dissuade lovers from leaving?
If I may, one of three poems of great beauty today.champagne1982 said:Death in Amber.

I actually read the "lone" words as a group, and I didn't get as much out of it as 12. I see now that it's fine, champ. I was just curious why. It's my way of learning. Glad you posted this.champagne1982 said:Well, since Eve and Fly have asked about it and twelveoone has an explanation included in his, I had better address my public comments on today's poem, Death in Amber.

You really are losing your bite. Come on, it's Halloween!WickedEve said:forget it...
No. lol I got an email, so that's why I'm forgetting it. Though, I still think anyone reading the "comment" will think what I thought when I read the comment. But forget it.Lauren Hynde said:You really are losing your bite. Come on, it's Halloween!
