The contrast between the opening of birds returning and then the war, and the two stanzas of statements toward the end! Such remarkable contrasts that make the war evermore painful.
this poem speaks so gently to me and my greatest fears. Mmmm. That last line, the use of “is” vs. “was” — of course, heck, that whole last three line line, and so beautifully earned.. Again,ONLY POEMS, thank you-- i hope to live long enough to read a zillion, zillion "ONLY POEMS Daily” poems. Bless you guys
