It's a good idea to find thematic connections between the poems. Theoretically, you can compare any of the anthology poems but it's useful to choose two which complement each other. Thinking about why you chose to compare two poems can help you build a thesis statement. Expanding your thesis statement into 'mini-arguments' can help you to build topic sentences. A great way to build a concluding sentence is to make the opposite connections to your topic sentence.
