Best Comparing Poems

“A person’s a person, no matter how small.” 
Dr. Seuss

Comparing

A young man stood next to a man who was much taller.
He began to feel lesser; so very much smaller.
Never of concern before;
His inches above the floor.
The next day he stood by a man much shorter...

Stars in the sky of your mind....

Shall I forget my asking a brother:
“Who of The Two has A Much Taller Order?”
And Dairy Hand mishandled An Udder,
For round spinning to watch Close Adder…

Martin Luther and Nelson Mandela,
If they were Fidelis - Fidelia, 
Then Stark Crudity of South Africa
Matched Mixed Decency of America...

Whilst in ones youth, I beg to question,
Why twice ten years sums darkly fossil,
If numbered twenty from conception,
Whilst in ones youth.

Immortal years, weaned blindly hostile,
Demanding half and whole apart as one,
Until twice twenty, rears itself colossal.

Twice again, steers an Elysian direction,
A course prepaid, far too...

        than shoes...
        We are that react

I shall compare Hinduism with a faith centered on Jesus & show why I cannot worship as a Hindu now. I need to clear a few things ahead of any armchair pundits.

Those who have read more than two of my poems will know I respect...

An old sweetheart of mine never believed
in daytime dreams, because they shattered
quickly and shaking her unconvinced head
silly words came out of her mouth admitting,
" Aren't fantasies unrealistic dreams...
when they appear more tempting
then a cake with irresistible frosting?
And while she cut it with careful fingers,

No matter how wonderful your writing is
Someone else will say it better with a pen that is more magical
Sometimes with poetry, other times with prose

To compare your missive to theirs is to turn your poem into a dust rag.
It could get moldy and dank, and...

This year 2021 seems so very hard
with covid and all its limited implications
but it's worth comparing centuries before
five hundred years before was no celebration

In comparing all these 500 years ago
when it was a world so different from today
this was what Europe then was like
even U.S....

Comparing Clarity with Disparity and Gravity

With some things we must compare clarity,
As it always does and determine disparity;;
Similarity lacking;
Could be cracking,
Assimilated with variable that is gravity.

Parity has to do with a woman's neonatal
condition and the ability of a variable to
agree with others and be correlated.

Death is not what you realize
lt is lighter than a leaf... 
As long as life can be

Should a winter's frigid sky
be as clear as the coolest spring day? 
Peaceful is Nature with its frosted, naked trees
that the lightest breeze won't make swing,
I hear their lament, " Long is winter, short are the days! "
Why has the purple finch stopped warbling?

Mom walks...

   Neighbor's kids, groomed and manicured 
      like a well-kept lawn
   Greet their parents joyfully
      smiles, hugs, a beaming ‘Good morn’

   Not that we’re jealous, not in the least

Poetry contests.   How ridiculous. Silly even. It is like comparing:
dogs with underarms,
underarms with toothbrushes,
toothbrushes with giraffes,
giraffes with garden parties,
garden parties with throw pillows,
throw pillows with coffee cups,
coffee cups with light switches,
light switches with spitballs,
spitballs with cinnamon buns,
cinnamon buns with alligators,
alligators with rubies,
rubies with...
