War Poetry

War poetry is a type of poetry whereby a poet expresses his views about war. It can be both positive and negative. Some prominent war poets are Rupert Brooke and Wilfred Owen. Although they both write war poetry, their views about war are totally different. Rupert Brooke, who has never participated in a war, glorifies war through his poems while Wilfred Owen, who had been in a war before, knows about its bitterness and thus, warns readers than war is not glorious at all. However, the similarity between them are that they were all going to or had been part of a war. Rupert Brooke was a young man who was going to participate in war while Wilfred Owen was a person who had already participated in war.
