Originally posted by Gibbon View PostI think it's quite clever but not beautiful, free verse in my opinion doesn't lend itself to beautiful poetry although D H Lawrence comes close. It has no rythmn, even blank verse like Marlowe etc even though it doesn't rhyme has a rythmn due to its iambic pentameter.
This poem also doesn't make you work too hard with illusion etc, its all put on a plate for you and doesn't have that wistfulness of the great war poets.
Read Rupert Brookes The soldier and you will see what I mean although by no means have to agree.

Poetry is very subjective and personal, what works for one person may not work for another. I was only giving my opinion and in no way meant to try and invalidate yours. I've only just got into myself through the Faber Book of Beasts which was a standard book on an OU course I've being doing, but I've carried on reading it after.
Good luck with the essay. I can't wait to get started again in Oct.But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition. Pliny the youngerComment
