Both poems, “This Is Just To Say” by William Williams and “No Ide Days” by Chris Colderly, are similar because they have the same type of rhythm. How? Both texts use 4 lines in each stanza, and when this happens, this creates a similar rhythm due to the fact that readers read it at the same pace.
In addition, both poets do not use periods, which also creates the similar rhythmic way in which we read this. Periods can emphasize feelings, and add meaning. But, without them, our pace doesn't really change, aswell as making us read the poems in a similar manner.
Furthermore, the two stories have lines with only one word, which ends in a “ing”. This creates a pattern in our way we read. Since there are no other words in the line, it makes us ponder if there is a deeper meaning.
