" Tyne Cot "
when you left
for the front
you were
living heroes
and now
you are on top
of the hill
where only
poppies
blow..........

" Yperite "
late at night
a mist
fills the valley.
without knowing
it suffocates
like a dark power.
on the fields
our dead bodies
and under the grass
a brown soil

Polygon Wood
like a shrine
you lie
in the middle
of the wood
and warn
of those
who preach
peace
and make
war

" Hill 60 "
poppies' blood
on the green grass
on the hills of mud
away they pass...

" Passiondale "
badly shell shocked
can't find my dugout
damned generals
where's my pillbox
shells rain
craters remain
insanity or death
what's the difference
