<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">These two poems are simillar in some ways and different in others, In this paragraph I'm going to cover the things that make them different. The poem 'Erosion' is about I think the sea or Humanity making changes in a woman and her life. On the other hand the poem 'What I know of God is this' is talking about God and what he has done in his life. They are talking about two completely different things in the poems. Even though God might control humanity they are very different things.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The poems are simillar in other ways though. They are both talking about things changing, poeple or things changing them. In 'Erosion' the author talks about the sea or humanity changing the woman. In 'what I know of God is this' the author talks about God making changes and touching him inside. They could be compared as simillar because they both talk about things changing inside, wearing them down.
