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.
