I like the evolution of symbolism in all three poems:
You start off with a very simple one, I almost stopped reading but then the second was intriguing and finally in the third you use symbolism even more.

You have potential, try using even more subtle and sublime symbolism.

Here is an example of how I use symbolism (I posted this in the Poetry Thread in 2007):

The moon is full
between the clouds
as I search
the shore.

Like the Eye of God
it lights the sand
but there is no sign
but silence.

Looking up
do I trace the beach
or breach the pitch
of an unknown lake?

Ripples belie
the undertow
but The Eye of God
blinks not.

Floating out
I miss the shore
but now My Eye
sees anew
the bubbles
drifting up.
