A ghostly image of a soldier
stood in the background,
as a mother with a babe in her
arms stood by a grave site.
She lowly whispered, "Father
this is your son. Son this is your
father. He gave his life so that
others might live."
Enjoyed this Shirley, but i think there is more to be said here - Perhaps a few extra stanzas may flesh the piece out a little bit as it does feel a bit tell not show at the moment.
Have a read of Antony Owen's poems on here as he writes excellent anti war poems (http://www.writeoutloud.net/poets/antonyowen), and I've got one too about my uncle Percy who was killed in action in World War II (http://www.writeoutloud.net/public/blogentry.php?blogentryid=17897) which may give you inspiration too.
Either way, keep em coming x
