Comparing Two Poems

One example of a similarity is how colourful the poems are and the emotions they make you feel. ‘peacock lines’, ‘neon bazaar’ in ‘An Unknown Girl’, ‘yellow, orange’, ‘Light!’ in ‘Electricity…’. These colours give you a sense of imagery, which leads to you feeling many different emotions, and this relates to the theme of discovery. In contrast to the colourfulness though, both poems end in a simple statement or closing sentence. ‘the moment had passed.’ from Douglas sums up the poem, the silence is more prominent. Likewise, ‘Longing… in the neon bazaar’ from Alvi brings a close to the poem - and this simple technique used by both poets makes the previous emotions even

Both poems tell about the journey of Life and the truth about life that is why I like it. It shows what life could end up, and what nobody else tells you about. it Uses figures of speech, metaphors.This poem relates to everyone alive, life is not to suffer, but many people do and by showing people the obvious could change their mind. They both have the same theme, but they explain it in their own way.

"And are gone to praise God and His priest and king, Who made up a heaven of our misery." "On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare seize the fire?" These two quotes are the relating factors; Neither poem shows comprehension of why God created the world to incluse cruelty. This speculation is something that is beyond human comprehension, it is something that can never truly be answered by the God they are pondering about.

170) and in Sleeping in the Forest it says, “nothing between me and the white fire of the stars but my thoughts, and they floated light as moths among the branches of the perfect trees.” (Mary Oliver, p. 172) The two quotations contain similes. Which is another thing the two poems have in common. The quotes show appreciation by taking the time to notice the small and beautiful details of nature and they say it so peacefully and softly. Sleeping in the Forest and Ode to Enchanted Light have differences because Sleeping in the Forest does not rhyme, Ode to Enchanted kind of does but there are other differences too. Pablo Neruda’s poem rhymes, but Mary Oliver’s poem does not because it is more of a serious poem, not a poem that can be sung. Pablo’s poem contains words like “green and clean” which does rhyme, but Sleeping in the Forest has no rhyming

Both poems share a story of a type of love, one is a love for numerous people front their past and the other is a love for someone who was very close and dear to their heart that died. In both poems, they each felt grief. Another similarity share in each is that the characters do not feel that they will feel love again.

Both poems have the same illusions about what the main idea of the story is. The one that was written in 1789 has more details about what was going on while the one written in 1794 was straight to it's point. Nevertheless, both poems put out the same concept Blake was putting out.

This course “Classic English Poetry: Ages, Authors, Texts (16th-20th centuries)” in such a short time has introduced me to many and many amazing poets and incredible pieces of poetry. Having been presented such a huge amount of different compositions, it was quite difficult at first to choose those I liked the most. But taking the time to think it all through, I managed to narrow down the list to my two favorite poems of two different authors.

We have been set the task to compare the ways in which the poems I

Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience are contrasting views of the same events. Each contains a collection of poems that profile an idea, figure, or event. In Songs of Innocence the world is viewed through the Eyes of someone like a child, who has little life experience. In Songs of Experience the same world is looked at only this time from the standpoint of someone who has experience in life, most likely an adult. The major difference between the two viewpoints is the understanding for life and

“Electricity…” and “An Unknown…” both have similarities and differences. One main similarity in both poems is that they have the same theme: discovery. In “Electricity…” it is about discovering electric lights for the first time. On the other hand, “An Unknown…” is about discovering your other cultural identity.

Either way a poem’s main purpose is to make the reader feel and reflect on the poem and on themselves. Although all poetry shares the same purpose, this does not diminish the impact their stylistic differences may have. The difference between a prose and lyric may impact the reader interpretations.
