Massey Grade: C+
Massey Comment: I guess this one is okay. The fact that it is a sex poem knocks its grade down although this judgment will be a surprise to anyone who actually knows me. The “buxom” part is the most interesting element – the rest follows obviously enough. Calling summer a “her” strikes me as a gimmick and a way of avoiding the whole sexist morass “tyranny of the male gaze” thing, although believing I have avoid it is likely just a desperate delusion.
