These two poems did ot srike me as being similiar in sound but more so in content. The actual content may differ drastically but the confusion of what the hell are they talking about exist in both. In Steven's "The Emperor of Ice Cream", He uses very little rhyme scheme but it is still evident in the text. It sounds almost senseless but leaves me rather intrigued. I mean: Who is this emperor anyway? It strikes me as being rather bizarre and I honestly don't know how to resoond. It could stand in as a methaphor for a number of things. The true symbol: I will never know.
Moore's "What are the years?", is not as senseless as Steven's poem but it is still rather strange. I have no idea what she is talking about. There is no rhyme scheme really but a structure does exist. The places where new lines begin work to give the poem a shape on paper. The theme may not even be related to Steven's poem but the ackwardness I felt after reading it was very much the same as When I read about some emperor of ice cream.
