If I like it: Yes, I like this poem. It seems/feels so intimate, yet somehow I feel connected to the character.
What emotions are there:I believe the emotions a reader would feel would be sorrow, pity, despair, grief, and helplessness because he/she has no power to help the abused.
What I would add to make it better: I probably wouldn't, perhaps start posting it publicly to sites like 'Wattpad', to get a wider perspective from public comments.

Answer:
Taken from the ending part of the short story "The Black cat" by Edgar Allen Poe, the lines tell of the alcoholic protagonist's happiness in finding that the cat responsible for the incidental murder of his wife is nowhere to be seen in his house anymore.
Explanation:
Edgar Allen Poe's short story "The Black Cat" tells the story of an unnamed protagonist who is an alcoholic. His drunken act of killing his pet cat Pluto and then later on even his accidental murder of his wife leads to the situation he is in the start of he story- convicted to death.
The given excerpt is form the ending part of the story where he had successfully walled in his wife's corpse. He could't find the cat, he second pet cat, who had been the initial cause of the act. The lines show just how relieved he was to see that he could no longer find "<em>the monster</em>" in is house. But with this admission, he seems to be implying that he was free of the moral obligations in he society in general. This speech gave him he all clear in the murderous act, but which will in fact, return to haunt him and bring him to justice.
If you are having difficulties deciding on what to do, it’s always best to do what you believe is the right thing. If you decided to do nothing, you could ultimately be making the wrong choice.
Example: You’re at the grocery store and you dropped a can of soda in the isle. You feel bad and you aren’t sure if you should report it to an employee so they can clean it up or if you should just walk away and pretend like nothing happened. Now if you do nothing, someone might come and slip on the soda and hurt themselves badly (the worst thing). But if you decided to tell an employee, you’re making the right choice because you’re preventing that future person from slipping.
I hope this makes sense!
Decline in urban civility is one of the theme in Robert Lowell’s “For the Union Dead,”
Explanation:
This was only brief disruption throughout the Boston Common, however the similar scenes in the second half of the 20th century are just a normal feature of American city life. The requirements of the automotive are to be met by Art, Landscape and people themselves.
Strong buildings have been destroyed to provide car parks; the neighbourhoods are separated by highways; access by pedestrians to recreational areas is becoming confusingly difficult. In the pursuit of technological advancement, the new city provides a new savagery.
