Two Poem Comparison

This is a comparison I did on the poems "Fireworks" by Amy Lowell and "It's Raining Love" by Richard Brautigan.

Both speakers are unsure of love and afraid to admit their feelings. The speaker of "It's Raining Love" gets so unsure and confused about his feelings, he starts to distrust himself.

In Geek Charming, the female role is a highly-popular once geek, while in Geek Girl, the girl is a rebelous goth chick, with an inner geek.

In both, they end up becoming 'geeks' themselves.  Here are the reviews I wrote for both, so you can compare and contrast them yourself.  GEEK GIRL: In Geek Girl, a goth makes a bet with her friends that she can turn a geekly nerd into a bad boy.
