... The comparison of poems composed by Simon Armitage and Carol Ann Duffy The three poems I have chosen to compare against one another are "November" written by Simon Armitage and "Salome" and "before you were mine" which were written by Carol Ann Duffy. Each poem has its own story to tell as they all include people in their poems. "Salome" refers to a biblical text involving John the Baptist, "Before you were mine" talks about a mother who remembers what life was like before having a child, and "November" talks about a grandmother, coming to the end of her life. All three poems are unhappy and dull poems. There is nothing lively about either of them. "Salome" is taken from the Bible in AD30. The play was written by Oscar Wilde, this was adapted to form the film "Godfather." It is almost too coincidental that the play and the poem were both
