Title: Reflections on WWI Poetry Out of the four poems provided, my favorite is “I Saw a Man This Morning” by A.E. Housman. The simplicity of the language and the use of repetition in the first two

For this assignment, we’ll be looking at poetry from WWI.  Some of it
is incredibly beautiful, while others are sickening.  Here are 4 poems,
2 are lovely, and the other 2 ghastly, but very realistic.

After reading these poems (none are long), write a paragraph
discussing which you like the most and which you like the least. Why do
you feel that way?  How do the words create imagery that resonate with
you?  
Once you’ve done that, write your own war poem.  It needs to be at least 3 stanzas, and please don’t make it gross or gory!!
