Hello, you write about war very effectively, and it feels like it comes from experience ... I can't imagine!!

I think the rhythm could be improved by deleting the words in brackets below.

'...(We are) ready to make our stand ...' Just leaving it at 'ready to make a stand'.

Just a suggestion. Thanks for sharing your poetry, which was a pleasure to read and review, cheers, rebekah

I came across a book of British WWI poetry years ago. Not much poetry around about WWI so this is a treat to come across. Excellent rhyming and the message of the difficulty of war comes through.

Excellent writing on this poem here. The picture of the old church or whatever goes with it very good. I think you are talking about England? The church just reminds me of some I saw there.

You write with such passion and clarity, drawing your readers into the moment. I think war is awful and the price is paid with human lives.

A very powerful piece with great imagery. I especially liked these lines: Our dead will mock the searing heat
My wounds will blister black...very well put.

And also:With scorn and tears we greet him here

Well done,

Pen
