A noble effort, but I think we need to see a little bit more of this person right from the start. The first paragraph will either sell, or lose your reader. Think of another way to set the scene up, rather than just a half-empty bottle, which has been done to death.

This is a nice little piece, but there seems to be a poor transition between the fifth and sixth line. I would recommend stating who you are first, in the first line: "I am a wounded bird." and then going from there.

This is an interesting take on prejudices I don't think I have ever seen before. Well done.

Nice piece. I would consider changing the third line "as the sun rises" because it is a bit reduntand, as you have already stated that "dawn comes" which is the rising of the sun. I would rework it as something like "As the sun paints the clouds."

Very concise, well-crafted story. I would suggest re-wording the sentence: "I remember how I stared at the coffin willing it to set free the woman who it held in a prison far away from me." It is a little hard to read the way it is written.

This piece seems hearfelt, but I think you need to organize your thoughts a bit more clearly, as it seems to jump around from line to line between the two characters. Try focusing on one at a time in each stanza perhaps, to set a distinction between the two.

This poem, no doubt, is very personal to the writer, but it really goes nowhere as to pulling the reader into it. It is written too personally. There is too much left for the reader to guess.

It is repeated twice. Other than that, I think it is a fine piece. I did notice perhaps that "And tell my time has come." should be "And tell ME my time has come."
