Bring my heart with you to England 1914-18

This is beautiful, I really like it. It took a second reading to fully appreciate what your are talking about, and it is so sad.

Thanks g, it was a sad time; appreciate the comments ;)

When we see another war unfolding poetry like yours is needed to remind us of what really happens behind the headlines. Excellent, and you did it in so few words.

I really love reading your WW1 poetry Chris and you never disappoint ;) I love the repetition of the last line!

Thanks Steve; appreciate the few kind words, in which you also expressed a lot ;)

Thanks Magic; I love writing about this time - as you know by now lol. Glad you enjoyed. ;)

Thanks Julie, it would be great if all war could be stopped for ever; don't know if it will ever happen, until we blow up the planet - then nobody wins!
