    Default 100th Anniversary of War Poet's Death

    To be honest, I'd never heard of Rupert Brooke: http://www.rugbyadvertiser.co.uk/new...eath-1-6716234

    I can't believe that lex or rebbonk have not heard of Rupert Brooke-you are both so knowledgeable.
    Unfortunately he died early in 1915 from an infected mosquito bite, on his way to Gallipoli.. his war poems are quite a romantic idea of war.I often wonder what he would have written if he had lived to see the real horrors of the war.
    I didn't know he was born in Rugby.

    Poetry's not really something I've ever got into

    I have recently read HENRY REED'S war poem 'The naming of parts'.
    I decided to have a go using his 'rhythm' or 'pattern'
    Also my first attempt at a sonnet.
    i FOUND THE SONNET DIFFICULT , BUT MANAGED IT
    .I sHALL IMPROVE.!!!
    Good for the thinking matter.. so 'THEY' say. whoever 'THEY' are.
