The first poem speaks to me. The imagery is quite nice. I can almost hear the mouse myself! The last stanza is beautiful.
I like the second poem a lot, except perhaps for the straightjacket line. I like it when writers write about writing.
The third poem is interesting. The allusions are effective, though the third stanza does seem to be lacking a little... I think it's the last line. Perhaps "Thou shalt die" would be more effective than "thou wilst die"'
Good poetry though! I'm impressed.
