If you're thinking "crafted like poetry" implies any kind of existential "quality", I'd like to introduce you to William McGonagall[0] and you will swiftly and powerfully be disabused of any "poetry -> quality" confusions.

- yjftsjthsd-h 7mo agoRegardless of whether poetry actually has anything to do with quality, I think it's reasonable to think that the author intended "Crafted like poetry" as a positive description.
