Dead Man's Dump Comments

A very vivid depiction of the effects of war. War must always be abhorred. So deeply poignant! Each and every stanza is adorned with superb imagery making a reader feel and see at close range the senseless killings.

Congratulations being chosen by Poem Hunter and Team as The Modern Poem Of The Day.5 Stars! Most deserving poem!

THREE: For me it's always very sad to read a poem about WARS, any war constantly brings many victims, very emotive I have become, my dear mother knew such situations, she is no more now, very sad, this reminds me of her (World War II)

TWO: the senseless destruction of human life and the futility of war. Rosenberg uses vivid imagery to convey the brutality of war and the suffering of the soldiers who fought in it. The poem is a powerful indictment of the war and a reminder of the human cost of conflict

ONE: it describes the horrors of war and the loss of human life. It is set in the trenches of World War I and depicts the aftermath of a battle, with dead soldiers lying scattered across the ground.

You can tell he was also a painter. From the way this poem is written, it’s obvious he writes with a paint brush. The images he paints with his pen force his readers to see the scene in a way that makes it more vivid. And horrific. And not just from one angle. We see the scene first through the eyes of someone carrying wire up the line on limbers and running over dead bodies, then we see it through the eyes of a dying man, and finally we see it from the limber-driver's perspective again. The view from the dying soldier's eyes is particularly disturbing. It is the wagon wheels, the mules' hooves and quivering bellies we see from ground level upwards. The reader won’t easily forget this haunting poem.

........just finished his statement of biography and true it says, he enlisted....and sadly later passed away at the age of 28, and was first buried in a mass grave himself...until later identified ★

........an imaginative write I'm not so sure....sounds as if the poet lived this experience ★

Man born of man, and born of woman! Nice work.

It is a tragedy to remember or imagine the fear and death of man in cold blood and the poet in his imagination created the story in a specific event and it is a success.

It's that doom train, huh?
