Yeah, I agree Marcia.
Hood is just plain good.
The "direct", the relatively "simple" -- are these things "bad"?
No one would dare say the same of Blake, for example -- though there's more "hidden" complexity there. But some of his poems are just as "popular" and, after all, were written for children.
But it's an interesting distinction, and I'll have to give it some more thought ...
