If this is an attempt to do a Wilfred Owen, it fails. Why not 'over' instead of 'o'er'? It is a stupid device to bring in such stupid and pointless language into something that is supposed to be a modern poem. As a result it ruins the whole poem which, though overall, is weak. The last stanza shows imagination and potential for developing a whole new poem. But not like this! .
