Community TutorWe two or The two of us?
Hi,
merely from a point of view of the style and what it can convey (we are talking about the title of a poem)
what is for you the difference between:
WE TWO
and
THE TWO OF US
?
here's my poem:
We two or The two of us
Let’s stay here
in the marvelous embrace
of our bodies.
Let’s stay here,
still and waiting
for the passing
that will sanctify
our union
in eternity.
I prefer "we two" but I need the opinion of native speakers, thank you.

Yes, I agree with Benjamin. Nice poem. I think either title works, but I also like Entwined, as Benjamin suggests.
Perhaps the word TWO suggests separation. The TWO become ONE. What about a title suggesting unity/oneness/a sort of coalescnce? I'm useless at titles so I won't suggest one!

Nice poem!
Both titles are suitable. I prefer 'We two' as well.
I'd have called it 'Entwined'

Still haven’t found your answers?
Write down your questions and let the native speakers help you!
