What do you look at when you're comparing two different poems?

First we need to choose out the key elements we want to talk about: use this acronym Lets (language) Shop (structure) F(form) T(theme) C(context) A(audience) R(rhythm) . Now we know our key elements, we have to compare them. With comparing poetry, we talking about the similarities AND the differences between the two. Its' easier to see the comparisons if you set them out in a mind map format which I can show you on the whiteboard. You should draw lines between the similarities to make it easier to distinguish between them and the differences. How do you feel about comparing poetry now? Is there anything you'd like me to go over?
