Nothing Gold Poem

Improved Essays
The two poems are similar because they both represent change since the farmhouse was nice and clean until they abandoned it. The nothing gold poem says "Natures first green is gold her hardest hue to hold."Meaning it is hard to hold the color since it is changing.They are also the same since they both include very good imagery,sound and themes. Both poems include great imagery like you can see the leaf's falling and the broken toys laying there on the front lawn. I also feel like the stories include sound like you here the dish's falling and the wind blowing the leaf's of the branches. They also have great personification.

There are both different because the farmhouse is about a family that may or may not exist. The nothing gold is about

    In the two poems Miniver Cheevy and Richard Coy there are many similarities as well as differences. Some of the main things that jump out at me is how unhappy they both are I believe they are both similar in this respect, also how at one point they seemed happy. One of the main difference is that one has everything he wants in life and more, while the other one can only dream of great things. Another main difference is that one is unhappy enough to end his life while the other one while unhappy still continues to live in his misery. While both of these poems have stark differences they have great similarities also.…

    They both start with lists of adornments that bear a striking resemblance to the traditional adornments worn by women in love and then end with what the adorned ones do. In taking this form they link themselves to one another and likely a whole tradition of poems in this same format, the most traditional being a women wearing what the subjects of both poems pretend to wear and then going to meet their lovers. The contrast of the first poem is that they are young women only playing at dressing the part using the things that nature around them provides. This playfulness heightens the excitement and seduction with youth and innocence that still achieves the ultimate aim of seduction. The contrast of the second poem is even more stark, the women are not women but in fact ghouls playing at dressing the part using bits of decaying human bodies.…
