Stevens and Moore

in the poem The Idea of Order At Key WEst had a rhythem to it in which made it sound as though it were a song. The poem What are years?, also shares this rhythem. Both pieces of work express how the person in them sings a song. Stevens expresses this in great depth with the girl singing a song and when the sound stops everything apears to be different, but Moore uses this as the bird sings and the more it sings the better it becomes and the larger it becomes. Stevens poem was made long with lots of description of its surroundings. Moore's had fragments that just lead you to an end. Sound is used in each to help apeal you to read it as well as sound as in singing has a meaning in both pieces. in all I'm not quite sure to be honest where they are divergent and all, but I do know these 2 pieces of poetry do compair because of sound.
