Never explain dear, Let the reader draw their own conclusions. They will usually infer wrong..... L.O.L.

In a foreign field. We charge onwards to our fate In a foreign grave.......You have succeded in getting deep into the mind of the soldier. thank u dear poetess. tony

i read it before you have come to my pages after ages young gal The gun is loaded. Our eyes meet for a mere split second, And we know each other. We hesitate. war has no compassion only bullets for breakfast miss poetry

Your words honest and true. War is minutes and seconds. Thank you Bryony for sharing the powerful words and thoughts.

A good text is when we read it and like watching a movie. It seems to me that this is a love movie without a happy ending. I guess that " opponent" deserves it. I'm not a judge, but I know what number 10 is.

good soldierly where did you learn it Now as u r a poetess of class DO READ MOMS SMILES fast if you have thank you

A very gripping write. So intense. In a couple of seconds I I was able to watch an action movie. Every stanza is beautifully crafted and well executed. Superb imagery.10+++

The intensity of the poem, the action, the images is very convincing, very well written! 10+ I remember Rupert Brooke's poem: If I should die, think only this of me: That there’s some corner of a foreign field That is for ever England....
