The soft mud pillowing my head
Will be my last embrace
Prone I see the valley and the sun's last light
My last light
As my comrades and I
Prepare to march into
Our last night

A fine write Lorna.
Sad. I wonder how many had the thouights you describe.
Writing in first person is a very powerful way to get this obscene wasting of lifes and suffering across to your reader.
So poignant = a gem.
Such an emotive write Lorna, thank you.
A great little war poem my fine literary friend, and posted on the centenary to mark the last day of WW1.. I have a deep personal interest in that so called war to end all wars and have written on the subject many times... thank you Neville
