Empty

Wandering, mindless, troublesome.
Seeing nothing but endless abyss.
Thoughts, come and go;
leaving the mind with a deathly blow.

Birds chirp and sing,
Winds scream and howl;
Yet all is lost within the empty hollow,
Leaving only pain and despair to follow.

The speaker of this poem is a third person - the author (me) . Not the man in the picture.

The message of this poem is one of a depressive nature. The man the author is describing is in a state of depression as he sees nothing and thinks nothing. He hears the birds sing and winds howl but his mind is empty. He has recently gone through terrible tradgedy and is left with a troublesome mind.

The audience of this poem can be anyone, but because of the depresseive nature, it is more suitable for tennagers and adults. Younger children probably won't appreciate the message conveyed in the poem.

The two senses are hearing and sight.

The Bull Calf

Theme: The theme of this poem is that Humans are condescending towards other living creatures. Since we are at the top of the food chain and has the power to kill animals, we do so sometimes for money but sometimes for no reason at all.

Quotes: "of his frightened look, growing smaller and smaller"
This quote shows that animals are helpless in the face of humans. They can not defend themselves and are subject to our slaughters.

"We dug a deep pit and threw the dead calf into it"
This quote shows how heartless humans can be. The indifference tone shows that they cared little for the calf that they just killed - for the living sould that they just destroyed.

"Without movement, perfectly still in the cool pit"
This quote shows that just like that, a living creature was killed by humans, having no power to defend itself. Now it's nothing more than a dead body.
