    It's hard for me to take this poem out of the context of everything else I read by Blake, so it seems to largely be a celebration of the Tyger, to me. The narrator needs to sound afraid and...

    I think that's fine, but I still think "damishly-coiffured" would be better--otherwise, your invention of the word "damish" carries with it the slightly-surprising expanded usage as an adverb without...

    This is subjective, and the example in the OP is, in my eyes, a "closer call" than might often occur--a writer can make up words, but "anything goes" is pretty much a style unto itself (or a defining...
