Thread: Wilfred Owen - Dulce Et Decorum Est

I'm not much for poetry, but I like this one. I even wrote a paper on it once.

I adore this poem.

I had to write a paper on it last year (and I reused that paper this year, but shh, don't tell). Generally speaking, the more I have to analyze a poem, the more I'll start to dislike it; this is one of two exceptions of I can of for that rule. It's a beautiful poem and very effective.

It's a shame he died so young. His poetry was wonderful.

Sam.

This is great.
