To compare the poems written during the First World War Here are the three poems I chose: 1) "In Flanders Field" by John McCrae 2) "The Hero" by Siegfried Sassoon 3) "Into Battle" by Julian Grenfell "In Flanders Field" is a touching and perceptive poem using the death speech to remind us for posterity to carry on the defence against the foe. In the first two verses, the writer shows the contrast between life and death by using words like 'cross' which represents death and 'larks' which shows life in nature: "In Flanders fields the poppies blow; between the crosses, row on row; That mark our place; and in the sky, the larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below" here 'that mark' represents the location of the soldiers' graves and above them lively birds are flying in the sky which creates a very sentimental atmosphere. The 'cross' also conceals the horror of war:
