Need help in poem analysis?

Question

please help. :(

poem #1

There is sadness

in hearing conversations stop

or finding out a loss of friends

the fading hollows out

your soul

and leaves you by yourself

staring at details

like frogs and snail

and what to do

The sadness grows and grows

like a tree without leaves

1. what experience is described in the words "hearing the conversations stop"?

2. what is the central theme of the poem?

poem #2

It was the kind of afternoon

that stirred madness

from the bottom

like a spoon

The knife went in

with blood like words

formed out of open mouths

Passengers thought of escape

waiting for God or something quick

they did not move

(the driver's face looked unfamiliar)

When everything was safe

the passengers discussed

the plans which were so late

(he had a knife)

They would come home

of an interesting story

to tell

1. What type of afternoon is described in the opening of the poem?

2. How did the passengers react with the incident?

3. What is the author trying to say? Relate other experiences or stories which manifest the same theme.

*each number should be in essay form. :D

Answer 1

who created these poems. there needs to be a little rethinking in writing these the second has structure but needs clear information on what is occurring.  First poem I got lost.

Answer 2

1.  obviously 'sadness' is the answer about the conversation stopping.

2.  It sound like the depression of having no one, ie, alone.

(A crappy written poem if you ask me...frogs? snails?  Trees without leaves are either dead, or it is winter.  You can't compare growing sadness to that.  This poet needs some ejumication).

Crappy poem No. 2:

1. Madness and spoon do not work well together.

2. They had a fight or flight response hoping for divine intervention at the same time.

3.  It sounds like the hijacking of an airplane written by a poet who cannot write worth a c**p.  These are poems one forgets about soon after reading.
