Sheep Charmer
She writes, and
So many emotions spring to the surface.
She wills
This lamb to save her,
That one to comfort her,
The other to inspire her.
The birds sing to her
When her father comes home,
And each night she cries into
What the Angels Left.
If you didn't know, that was supposed to be a piece about Howe. I used only what I remembered from her writing--only what struck me enough to stick with me. That's probably the reason I used the lamb idea so much. Thoughts? Comments? Ideas for revisions?

I think you can start with this- and then maybe reread some of the poems to create more expansion. You mention the father, but what about the sister so frequently mentioned too? I like the desperate feeling this poem has, and I think it was a great idea to write a poem like this.
