“Hi, how do the poetic thoughts emerge in mind”?
I was unable to react and reply to the question of its kind
I had to struggle hard for the answer to find

Robert Herrick, in his poem “Delight in Disorder,” describes a narrator’s attraction to a woman’s style of clothing, and not to her physicality. Meticulously noting every detail of her dress, he states that he finds more appeal in her disarray than in the extreme precision of the societal conception of beauty. As in most Renaissance lyric poems, courtly love is the vehicle of a metaphor for a higher attainment. This attainment is unification, a transcendence of the infatuation between a man and a woman and a climbing of the platonic ladder to divine love. The poem is a response to this theme.
A sweet disorder in the dress
Kindles in clothes a wantonness.
A lawn about the shoulders thrown
Into a fine distractïon:
An erring lace, which here and there
Enthralls the crimson stomacher;
A cuff neglectful, and thereby
Ribbons to flow confusedly;
A winning wave, deserving note,
In the tempestuous petticoat;
A careless shoestring, in whose tie
I see a wild civility:
Do more bewitch me than when art
Is too precise in every part.

In the full version what happens to the old man gets more confusing:
