To be really picky, "a'o" applies to the entire text there (because it
occurred
at the beginning of the text) and the other ones are redundant. There would
need to be a .i before the first .a'o.


Well, to be really really picky (not the best thing to do with a poet, by the
way) an initial {.i} would be improper, since there is no preceding sentence
({.i} does not begin a sentence, it continues a discourse).  And the rule
about initial {a'o} is not official (indeed, the official position is for
minimal scope, but really is undefined), so not binding, especially on poets. --part1_54.16062102.285bb85b_boundary--
