Thesis ideas for Comparing and Contrasting two poems

Good evening,
I have an essay due in two days but trying to come up with a thesis on comparing and contrasting two poems, "Night Clouds" by Amy Lowell, who describes compares meaning to cloud formations with stallions in the night sky by using symbolism and imagery; one for physical sensation and the other for nature. Robert Browning's poem "Meeting At Night," instills a prevailing and romantic mood during a nocturnal time constructed almost exclusively by direct images and colors from the night sky.
Ok, I know each have the night in common, just not sure what my main point to start with. I tried this: "Even though both poets write about the strength of night, and how powerful they can be with images of nature, they vastly have different meanings and outcomes." Any ideas?

Good evening.

Well, why do you think they both take place at night? What is so special about the cover of darkness in these two works? What about nature? Because the night sky is a natural phenomenon, could you compare the two portrayals of the same phenomenon?
As for the contrasts, you could use, as you say, the different meanings instilled by both authors as well as their different results.
A list could help you get more organized with your thoughts. Write down a quick note about the commonalities and differences between the two; that should help you get started.

Hi Gloria,
I appreciate the quick response, I can compare the night and contrast each meaning of the night, and those results!
I will do that with a list and press on from there.
Thank you again and take care,
