Comparison of Recruiting and Spring Offensive

I am going to write 4 points comparing Recruiting by E. A. Mackintosh and Spring Offensive by Wilfred Owen

1. Meaning - Recruiting shows the real truth behind recruitment posters and how they lie, and Spring Offensive is about war in spring-time and how soldiers spend all this time getting ready to fight, just to go and die. In a way, Recruiting shows what life is going to be once you've signed up through these recruitment poster to go to war, and Spring Offensive proves it and describes it in more detail.
2. Both poems don't have a point of view from someone in the poem, but it is from the poet, telling us the poem, not the poet writing about someone telling us the poem.
3. Recruiting emphasises on the meaning of the poem and the truth behind the recruitment posters, Spring Offensive emphasises on the effect on the reader and hits you at then end because you read about how they are all getting ready, and then what leaves you with the biggest impact and what makes you remember the poem is how they all die at the end.
4. Recruiting has a regular rhyming pattern; ABCB whereas Spring Offensive has a very irregular rhyming pattern. In Spring Offensive each stanza is of a different length and has a different rhyme scheme, in Recruiting, each stanza is of the same length and has the same rhyme scheme.
