Argument of Comparative Paper

I'm just going to copy my first paragraph (it's short) since it will introduce which poems I'm doing.

A.E. Housman’s poem “Loveliest of Trees, the Cherry Now” and Philip Larkin’s poem “The Trees” are easily seen as in dialogue because of their similarities in content and form. Both written in three four-line stanzas of iambic tetrameter, Housman and Larkin both use trees and the cycle of the seasons to engage with ideas about human mortality. However, while Housman imposes an answer on nature, Larkin seems to challenge this approach by using a much more questioning and less imposing method.
