Grass

Immediately as I began to read this poem, I already had an idea of where it was heading. The use of the names of the places in this poem is very powerful because they represent the places where war and a lot of death had occurred. This poem to me shows how we have forgotten a lot of the times about the mass amount of deaths that have occurred in places such as Gettysburg that have made a significant impact in the world. The grass represents this idea of forgetting them. It wants to cover up the bodies so that when people pass by the place, they do not even know where they are because all of the bodies are hidden from them. Words: 123
