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?
