Emotion
On the 28th day
of June 2014
I sit alone
in my lounge
smoking a pipe
reflecting that
it was on
28 June 1914
when War
to end all wars
broke out exactly
one hundred years
to this day
now I feel tears
in my eyes for
the great young
Poets it spawned
aye spawned
but also killed
especially I weep
for Wilfred Owen 25
and Charles Sorley
poet extraordinaire
only 20 when killed.
