Use a comma to separate a group of preposition phrases of more than four words when the phrases come at the beginning of a sentence.

Do not use a comma between separate phrases unless they are in a series.

A comma may also set off a single prepositional phrase at the beginning to make the sentence clear. A comma is recommended after any introductory prepositional phrase of more than four words.

Correct: Under the kitchen table the dog cowered.
Correct: Under the spreading chestnut tree, the village smithy stands.
Correct: Under the pile of clothes, we found his wallet.
Incorrect: On the sand, of the beach, by the inlet, we relaxed in the sun. Correct: On the sand of the beach by the inlet, we relaxed in the sun.Correct: Over hill, over dale, we hit the dusty trail.

the difference between an explicit and implicit meaning is that the explicit meaning of a poem is that the detail is exactly defined. nothing is left to interpretation. an implicit meaning is an implied meaning. kabir's poetry is both explicit and implicit in that it can be interpreted on different levels. the explicit meaning leaves nothing to interpretation while the implicit meaning leaves lots open to interpretation. an example of this is found in the poem "rumi and the spiritual lover".
