MY FRIEND - NEW POEM

My Friend The dew and cool chilled morn in Fall— Me up and down a street, My feet hit concrete on crumbled walks, My friend would wait for me.

WAR POEMS

I'm interested in reading war poems - for, against, about, etc. Does anyone know of any compilations available? They can be from any era and from any country as long as they are in English or have translations. I'm pretty much a one-language person, unfortunately. Sign in to see full entry.
