Explication of Written Poem 6
My last poem is a free verse, since there's no strict rhythm or rhyme. This poem is about a young soldier who is fresh into war hence the 5 days of marching, and he documents his travels while questioning his mission.I wrote this poem in order to reflect a positive aspect of war. Most of the time we all hear news or opinions that criticizes the outcomes and intentions of war, but never the benefits of going to war. This may include peacekeeping etc. I incorporated a hyperbole into this poem, "word got around the battalion faster than light."

chad, this poem was interesting and related well to your theme. I liked how you focused on the positive aspect of war rather than the more heavily covered negative side. very well written
