Hello~
Great work with these poems! They're both simple to understand, yet mysterious, hiding a deeper meaning underneath which one must seek out. I especially like the imagery you used for the first poem (musical references, yeah!): the wails, cry and harsh tones remind me of the blues and jazz, in particular the Combustible Edison and Duke Ellington versions of the song 'Harlem Nocturne.' Haha, I tend to ramble on about music :P
With the second poem, I couldn't have said it any better than laurawasiniak's reply ^ The tone of this poem is very gripping and challenging, I really liked your choice of words and putting death in a positive light for this one: "death is, after all, only kind once."
Keep it up and have a good week/weekend :)
