war poetry is the transformation that war brings about in a person. Many poems reveal boys going into war and becoming young men after the experience. Another dominant theme in war poems is about the forgotten soldiers who lost their lives and weren’t remembered. Many poems have been written about war and the feelings evoked by war.

Mary Hyland 11/18/14 P.3 Poem Reaction Paragraphs Emily Dickinson: “Success Is Counted Sweetest” This poem brought about a reaction in me of true success.
