WAR POEM
After reading and studying The Sentry by Wilfred Owen it is now time to write your own. Now, have a go at writing your own war poem. Remember, you want your poem to depict
what war would be like.
• Use effective words, such as sinking mud, rotten boots, unblinking eyes, heavy legs,
lifeless or trudge.
• You could use alliteration or repetition to make your poem more effective, such as ‘thud!
flump! thud!’
• Consider using emotive language, such as beginning your poem with a dramatic opening
line, ‘The soldiers marched, trudging like burdened men through...’.
• Using attention to detail, you could write generally about the horrors of war but then
zoom in on a specific detail. For example, ‘The wild chattering of his broken teeth sounded
like...’.
