All of them are nice, Tyson. "Husk" however, is my favorite. The poem is simple and uncluttered; it has a nice rhythm. The alliteration and rhyme lend strength to your visual texture. You have a couple of lingering lines; "... the fear divine," and "... death entwined" are great expressions that despite their distance within in the poem itself still play quite strongly off of one another and create an ominous ambiance, a quite eerie bonding impact with the reader.
Thans for the comments. I find it dificult to write poems online, finding it easier (or at least more comfortable) to actually write with a pen or pencil. Sometimes it is hard to be economical in wording when you can type, and I often feel guilty of wordiness when typing.
Interesting, I write poetry the same way using pen and paper first. Stories and academics I can do fine on the computer, but not poetry. I had never thought about how I always reach for paper despite sitting at the computer.

My other favorite was "Monster."
