Edward Thomas compare/contrast

Edward Thomas's two poems "Adlestrop" and "February Afternoon" have many similarities and contrasts. Both poems are described in detail and in my opinion they both feel as if the tone were set in a nice time of day outside. "Adlestrop" is more choppy when being read and "February Afternoon" rhymes. The rhyming of "February Song" sets the mood for the poem. The poem is slightly longer and the flow of the poem makes the meaning of the words come through more. For example, the last stanza talks about us as people being unaware of our surroundings and how we are "stone-blind." "Adlestrop" also gives the sense that we cannot reach our goals because we as people can never fully approach them, hence Adlestrop as the man or fictional being.
