The wind on the downs paragraph

How should you leave me, having loved me so? The wind on the downs, by Marian Allen is a poem which uses lots of repetition and imagery. The big idea of this poem is that she can't remember his face and she can only remember his khaki figure. An example of Imagery is ".....as brown and tall...strong...in Khaki tunic.." this describes her imagining him how her boyfriend looks like, and how she can only imagine him in his uniform. There is lots of repetition used of "I..you...me..we", this is very powerful because it shows howwar was like for the men and women who missed their beloved. She is describing him how she wants him to look like, she is hiding from the fact he might be dead. Marian Allen shows in this poem the pain of missing your beloved, her confusion; she doesn't really know how his husband really looks. She is remembering the things they did together before. Waiting and waiting because she doesn't want to believe that he is dead.
