Compare and Contrast Mushrooms by Sylvia Plath and Hawk Roosting by Ted Hughes Both of these poems have a central theme of nature. However‚ the real meaning of each poem can be found elsewhere.

two poems “Daddy‚” by Sylvia Plath and “Annabel Lee‚” by Edgar Allan Poe. I found that these two particular poems have many similarities‚ as well as differences‚ but I feel that the similarities are more apparent.
