Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Living Through War

The poet, Robert Graves, did pen

The poem, "Haunted," feeling shame

At not being one of the men

Dying in "The Great War" by name.

Yes, very close to death came he,

And was even reported dead,

But survived bad war injury,

Eventually shipped home instead.

From then on he was haunted by

Belief the war dead lived well on.

Many times he wished he did die

Through despaired nights awaiting dawn.

Robert Graves, haunted more and more

Through memories of "The Great War."
