Compare and Contrasting Ozymandias and Ponder

The first obvious contraction of the two poems is their formatting. Ozymandias is more free flowing while Ponder is staggered and broken. Ozymandias is mainly about ancient society and the irony of a king declaring his might and depair and Ponder begins with describing the remains of busted statues and the remains of stone cringes. Both poems can relate in this sense that each has some description of something to do with the remains of some society in the past. Ponder excercices many sexual refrences in the poem while Ozymandias does not. In the end it is much easier to read and understand the flowing language of Ozymandias as opposed to the broken lines of the much more complex Ponder poem.
