Despite both contents of the poems being very alike the structure of the poems are very different. March is almost in prose with three long stanza containing long sentences and multiple uses of punctuation. For example the first stanza is three lines and one sentence and uses a caesura to split the possibility of two sentences. It’s tone is informal and almost as if the writing is like a conversation. It has no meter due to the way it is a story telling poem.
Whereas in our love now, the language used is very colloquial and also quite formal. Although the poet writes about common sorts of things, the language is complex. The poet uses words like prevails. As in the last poem, an intellectual person would have no troubles understanding the language or the situation, a less vocally diverse person would perhaps struggle a little bit. The structures of the poems differ quite a lot.
Her language is also archaic, suited to the context and time. Pride and Prejudice is full of details that sum up the whole situation or of a character, in very few words. Austen's sharpness of observation and precision takes the form of brief and short statements rather than long winded description. Her extended and accurate selection of vocabulary are able to really exhilarate and dig deep into meaning with just a few words such as, "in as short time as Mr Collin's long speeches would allow, everything was settled". Austen uses few metaphors and imagery and description of the settings is rare.

At the Border, 1979 This poem presents two very different types of relationships: the relationship between a parent and child, and the relationship between an individual and the land. The poem does not use a lot of 'poetic' language but much of the language has many connotations. For example, the word "border" could be a border between life and death, youth and age, innocence and experience. The date of the title fixes this poem in a particular time and place. There are very few adjectives and these are mostly unexciting: "last" and "different".
"The grasses sway their tall spears; the white butterflies flutter around and float on the warm wind of the late summer." (pg 9) As the quote seems to imply, it is showing the current mood and state of Paul which, in context is a peaceful and tranquil one. It also shows his innocence to the horrors of war. The butterflies also serve as a message of his softness towards his situation and the delicacy of the balance in life. There is another passage in the book when Paul describes the butterflies as being perched upon a skull and fly about the battlefield as if they do not have a care in the world.
During this dream, it seems as though everything in life was taken for granted as he saw grains of sand as jewels and gems, and sharp vivid colors of the luminous grass blades. I take that as a brief message to the readers of this story, to not take the little things for granted. This story was very well descripted because most of the story was based on the features of Peyton’s surroundings. The length of this event was very short, but was stretched with the details of Peyton’s conditions. There was very little to no conversations in this story, which definitely makes it a third person narrator.

The style of this poem is free verse, or contemporary style. The stanzas have rhyme but no formal structure.
Spring vs. Fall In Spring, the bees start buzzing around from one flower to the next as the flowers open up and the bees collect the pollen to take back to the beehive and the caterpillar’s that have been in there cocoons are now coming out as beautiful butterflies and moths. In fall as leaves start changing colors from green to deep reds, golden brownish-yellow and vivid yellowish-orang as they fall to the ground the animals collecting food to go into hibernation. The bird start heading south for the winter and the cool air starts to set in. There is such beauty in both season’s spring and fall; there are also some differences between them such as, weather, color, and activity. Spring is the season that the earth comes alive again in all its beauty.
He confirms this by using capital letters for the grasshopper and cricket, and picks the grasshopper to symbolize summer. In the line, “The grasshopper – He takes the lead – In summers luxury.” In the heat of the summer it joyfully moves about, and after much fun, it effortlessly is able to rest under a weed. In comparison, this is how the mood of summer affects nature and humanity. Keats uses the cricket to associate winter. The cricket in the cold and silent winter chirps in song as it finds warm near a stove.
