observed a skilled crafter of poetic structure with Adam Shlager's "the hazards of love." The four stanzas each represent a season of the year. In each stanza, the Beloved is represented as a bird that has flown away, leaving the speaker in the poem "far behnd." Also in each stanza, the poet poses a puzzle to the audience, a puzzle he would probably label an "ambiguity." Adam says, "I don't think the reader should know more than the players in the poem."
