The Angel that presided oer my birthSaid, Little creature, formd of Joy & Mirth,Go love, without the help of any Thing on Earth. As Ive said before, I feel a bit uncomfortable reviewing poetry. I dont have the proper tools; I lack the vocabulary. Critiquing poetry, to me, is like critiquing a human body.
