Introduction

I chose war because it is a subject that is very relevant in the world today. Many people are affected by war whether directly or indirectly. In politics today war is a prominent topic and every county in the world is effected by it. I also chose war because it inspires a certain level of pride and admiration from us. In this assignment I learnt that it is a lot harder than I thought to write poetry. I think that this has been a challenging assignment and I enjoyed it a lot. My favourite poem is Poppies and my favourite line in it is “Hark, the spiteful rattle where the masked machine guns play!” I love this part of the poem because it is the first time that anything to do with war is heard in the poem.
