Wow.
I agree with tamtam that you definitely have an affinity for poetry. I've never studied poetry so, unfortunately, I can't provide a very knowledgeable critique. But I enjoy the atmosphere of both poems and the imagery. The mood is definitely spot-on and they both remind me of the wistful sadness of Poe's "To Helen" and "Annabel Lee" (my favorite). I also appreciated your choice of words and how you strung them together in your sentences. Clearly, you spent a great deal of time and care on both poems.
Worked for me!
Good job!
