First off, I was unable to tell whether these were two different poems or just one poem, so for this entry I will treat them as two different and comment on each. "She Hangs" has a lot of beautiful wording that makes the action of hanging so much less boring. Also I like where it talks about the internal temptation to pluck her and getting rid of her. I couldn't really tell what her was supposed to be, but either way I loved this poem. "Warped..." also used a lot of beautiful wording, this wording made me feel warped while reading it. I really like the sentence "I'm screaming 'til I'm black and blue." This has such a definite image, and I think this poem could actually use a little more of that. I also enjoyed the repetition of this poem, it was very called for to add just a little stability to the poem.
"Warped..." was a poem that I had such a hard time following. It was very fast paced and chaotic. So in a since the poem works because of this. But really what is a poem if the reader can't follow it? I'm not really sure how this poem could become less chaotic, maybe if there were breaks in the poem's lines things would be just a little easier to digest.
