I also remember the teachers’ analysis which was much the same as yours. His long spelt out last line hit home visually as well as cerebrally. However, I remember criticism as well, at the time. I was told that his first verse was plagiarised from a folk song about Ireland and he had obviously drawn from existing nursery rhymes. But to me and my friends, he was a member of the Scaffold, Lily the pink was in the charts, and his poem was much better than any others we had in English. I could recite much of it into adulthood.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310482199113024197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5388643855650779633.post-75730664902791957932011-05-22T07:28:28.105-07:002011-05-22T07:28:28.105-07:00I'm studying this poem for my gcse english, an...I'm studying this poem for my gcse english, and it's by far the best war poem that i have to study.
