Woodbine Willie Comments

Wow a world war poem, history brought back to life here, in touching human side to it. Willie was a noble soul then. U rendered it in great freeverse style. Kudos. Pls do leave your thoughts on my latest poem too, titled, 'To stand tall and proud yet to humbly bow'

A nice poetic imagination, Colin. You may like to read my poem, Love and Lust. Thanks

A brave man. First cigarette I ever smoked was a Woodbine, a stolen woodbine! Reminded of them later in Prague when I tried some Czech ciggies. Not great! But the the soldiers' circumstances in the trenches they must have seemed like ten minutes of heaven.
