Thank you for these nice recordings!
I think you are off to a fine start. There are just a few things that need attention.

The opening silences on all of these is too long, as are the closing silences except for 68.
I refer you again to our instructions. At the beginning, only between 0.5 and 1.0 seconds. (These all have about 3)
At the end, leave about 5 seconds. Most of these have 6-7 seconds.

I would also suggest shortening the gaps between your intros and the beginning of the poem. You have about 3 seconds which is quite a bit of dead space for the listener. I would suggest about 1 to 1 1/2 second. The same is true of the gap between the end of your reading and the start of you "outro" where you have about 3 seconds. These would sound better trimmed down as well.

At least trim the silences at the beginning and end. (This is standard for all LV recordings).

Then upload each of them again with exactly the same file name, post the links and new lengths here again so I can give them a quick check.

Thank you again for your nice reading

Thank you!
These are very nice recordings of these poems. You have a natural reading style.

Just one thing to take care of.
At the end of each of these, please add, "This recording is in the public domain," then the five-second silence.
It is important to have this disclaimer on all LV recordings in some form.

Just upload your corrected versions under exactly the same file name and post the links and new lengths here again so I can give them a quick check.

You are off to a good start.
