poetry comparison

Ozymandias depicts the perpetuity of time and how it is capable of deteriorating even the king of kings. His syntax also becomes more fragmented ad the poem progresses, reflecting on its metaphoric meaning. On the other hand, Cummings poem depicts the same perpetuity of time, but has a goal, to convince a girl to bed with him. Both poems share a common theme that time is always chasing behind them and that it is a powerful destructive force, but Ozymandias is more literal, where cummings is more manipulative.
