Can two different things be so similar in so many ways? My poems are different in many ways, from repetition and rhyme to figurative language. But they have their similarities. Things will always be different but if we look we can find similarities. The poems “Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take The Garbage Out” by Shel Silverstein and “Song for an April Dusk” by Dorothy Parker are very good poems, but are different in many ways.
Let’s start with repetitions differences and similarities. In “Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout would not take the garbage out” every stanza says the title. They also repeat just the words garbage out. Unlike “Song for an April Dusk” The beginning of every other line is “Tell me”. Unlike “Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout would not take the garbage out” only those two words are repeated.
Next is Rhyme. In “Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout would not take the garbage out” every line rhymes with another one. There are many example and one of them is ham and yam, which are two words that rhyme in this silly poem. However in “song for an April dusk” every other line rhymes. One example is butterfly and die. This means that both poems are traditional.
