"Because my mama lost her daddy when she was too young" - Kinsale Drake; How I learned to hold grief at such a young age... https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poe...ch-a-young-age

Curious dark character, this Aram. The curious thing is, it seems he wanted the goods mainly to pay his debts. He disn´t acquire goods of his own. And with his learning perhaps he might have got a better position.

"From Deutschland I come with my light wares all laden," - Walter Crane; Buy A Broom... https://www.poetrycat.com/walter-crane/buy-a-broom

Thanks for the analysis tailor, but I'm getting crazy at these analyses of eliteskills. Where are the cows on the fields? Where are the birds? This seems to refer to another poem. I can´t say that I understood this poem well, but as far as I did understand it, these cows are being taken to the slaughterhouse (I only chose it because I had difficulty in finding an "E" poem).

"Buy A Broom' Cute poem in it´s Bavarian style. :)

"Goldbrown upon the sated flood". "Flood" by James Joyce
https://www.poetrycat.com/james-joyce/flood

Muldoon's poem is a bit enigmatic/surreal (perhaps Dada)... cows and cattle are mentioned by name including kine and calves. Birds are alluded to in "bottle of Redbreast" in S3 and S6 gives us ""through the air"" then perhaps "should one taillight flash and flare / then flicker-fade / to an afterimage of tourmaline / set in a dark part-jet, part-jasper or -jade?". But yes, the summary does seem to go far of field.

Enjoyed Joyce's dreamy poem about a flood :)

"Her oval face is so soft and succulent" - Penman; QUEEN OF BEAUTY... https://www.poetry.com/poem/136530/queen-of-beauty

You are right. I am not familiar with bird names specially not in English so I didn´t recognise them. I also think, that to undestand this poem one must decipher it´s allusions. What may have happened too is that this analysis was the work of AI that caught the elements but not the complexities of the poem and thus tried to simplify it.

Queen of Beauty-Some unexpected comparisons "Gap toothed like the cymbal of famous artists" but enjoyed.

"I'm a fussy little fellow"."The YellowTailed Thornbill" by C.J. Dennis
https://allpoetry.com/'The-Yellow-Tailed-Thornbill'

Sweet poem !!! "If you'll listen to this cheerful little air -- / "Chip, chip." / Oh, I'll charm you with my cheerful little air." Enjoyed ! :)
