For the poem anthology where it was the presentation of place, would Hawk Roosting have been ok to compare it to?

Don’t really see much you could compare ‘place’ to in hawk roosting tbh, it’s all about how you presented, I did living space which was probably one of the best you could’ve done, best not to dwell and move on however

Talked about the setting (the woods) the hawk is in and how he controls it and the presentation of that. 🤷*♂️

My friend also did Hawk Roosting. There are definitely comparisons like "the high trees" and "earth's face upwards." I did Ozymandias talking about the "antique land", "lone and level sands", also comparing people in power in each place (London vs Egypt) and how i felt about the remains of each place ("blood down palace walls" vs "vast trunkless legs of stone"). Afterwards i thought Living Space was the easiest though but i kept using the word place to stay focused. hopefully i wasnt too side tracked. (I also realised i wrote London was iambic pentameter instead of iambic tetrameter but oh well)
