The first poem, “Someone,” is about a person who knocked on another person’s door, so the person who did not knock on the door came to check it out but he found nothing. Then the poem is telling you what the person who came to the door is hearing. For example, the screech-owl call. The poem uses repitition and has a rhyme scheme of: AABBBB. I think the poem’s message is just reminding you of nature and what noises can happen, or when you think something is there but it is not.
