What is noticable about this poem is that owen employs the use of nature into this poem to intiate powerful emotion towards the aduience this very noticable in the first stanza where owen represents nature as calm and good this is particularly evident when owen gives an example of war in the field.....buttercups. This first stanza immediately intiates the calmness towards the nature how evrything is good but then suddenly owen changes this tone to more harsh this is particuarly evident when owen depicts the sky as opening up a fury, he uses poetic imagery to provide a wonderful example he is able to tell the audience about the sheer volume of people dying who ended up being knees high blood, in the last line Owen does compare it to dulce est decorum use of glory and honour
