Is This poem Any Good?

I love it. The extensive use of imagery especially impresses me. The various sounds mentioned, screams, songs, cries, cracks, and wails are my favorite, but there's not any of that in the second stanza, so, if I were to suggest one thing, it would be to try to make the second stanza as pleasing to the minds eye, and the minds ear, as the first. The feel of the meter and rhythm really do feel like the old west though, I'm very impressed.
