War Poetry and Its Themes

Skibidi, let us dive into the edge of war poetry that honors valor while questioning the game. Tennyson's galloping verses reflect the Charge of the Light Brigade, where six hundred rode into the Valley of Death, a dank metaphor for futility. Lowkey, he glorifies their bravery while calling out the leadership's goon moves. Newbolt swings in with cricket metaphors, urging duty and honor in the imperial sport of war. Yet, Hardy breaks the sigma by questioning why we kill strangers, exposing the shared humanity beneath the soldier's mask. This poetic journey reveals the ship of war's irony and sacrifice.
