Break Of Day In The Trenches Comments

I wrote the poem 'Risking Life Limb Flesh Enlisted', inspired by a the poem 'Break Of Day In The Trenches', by the poet Isaac Rosenberg, and dedicated to Isaac Rosenberg.

This war was a scare upon the human psyche, which intensified as it continued to drag on, for four long years. It scared civilization at the time and service personal who fought in The Great War were scared, for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately our global civilization has not learned to stop sabre rattling and heartfelt embrace peace. I wrote the poem 'Sardonic Rats Fearless Welcome Break Of Day', inspired by the poem 'Break Of Day In The Trenches' by the poet Isaac Rosenberg.

Hearbreaking and full of emotion

a brilliantly descriptive poem of a day in the life of an English soldier poet? ...............superbly written.

Almost a surrealist first few lines, to immortalize break of dawn, picking a poppy over the parapet, in a Great War trench; echoing through time.

it is a great poem that has touched my heart and i know see why members of my local club encouraged me to read it
