Queen Anne's Lace Comments

Critics and professors take on literature like it is a treasure map and its words are difficult codes that must be broken to understand the poet. Hate to carry my flag of individualism out on this cultural battlefield, but a poet or a novelist should speak both plainly and somewhat mysteriously to his audience. If his work is too simple- yawn. If his work is too difficult to understand- yawn. For me this poem compares a woman to a flower in a romantic sensual way. It is beautiful, it is natural, it is part of the natural scheme of life.

Line 12 is incorrect.
