on Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori by Wilfred Owen, on March 18, 2006
This poem is so vivid, it is scary. Reading about the gas attack - nothing is left to the imagination. The utter exhaustion of the soldiers in the first lines is unimaginable. The horrors of war are not glossed over in this poem at all.
on Beach Burial by Kenneth Slessor, on March 18, 2006

Awesome Poem
Depressing to read, but he brought the scene to life so vividly - I could close my eyes and hear the waves on the beach, see the bodies rolling in the surf. Knowing a bit of the history of WWII it makes the poem very hard to read. Sad, the lost of life - I won't say pointless, but so unnecessary.
on Amaze by Adelaide Crapsey, on July 16, 2005
Wow...so much said in so few words. I picture a woman sitting looking at her hands, work worn. Her hands were not the hands she remembered...soft and sleek, well manicured. She now looks and sees hands that have grown old - reminding her of her mother's hands....'a woman like me once had hands like these'.
on The Rum Parade by A B 'Banjo' Paterson, on April 8, 2004
Interesting piece. Never heard of a rum parade before. When you think of the history of that time - the Spanish Flu, the war, this poem really gives an insight into what people were thinking...at least that is my opinion.
