Answer:

Both poems deal with adolescence but from different perspectives.

Explanation:

The first poem relates moments in a young girl's life that represent a turning point, slowly introducing her into the grown up world. The lyrical subject is a mother, as we get to perceive the world from her perspective, whilst the young girl is the lyrical object.

On the other hand, Lorde's poem, apart from being much darker, borrows the adolescent's point of view. The lyrical subject is a young girl and the troubles of adolescence are interpreted by the same individual that is experiencing it.

Both poems deal with adolescence but from different perspectives.
