'I can't do all the work for you'. Well, this is a poetry analysis. I thought that was kind of the whole point, that you do the work for us instead us analysisng it ourselves.
Having just discovered that my Great Grandfather died on 7th July 1916 at Mametz Wood, I investigated what was on RUclips. I stumbled across this video which I very much appreciated. Thank you.
Very helpful videos, thanks. For this poem I would add how bones are talked about in stanzas 2 and 3, whereas ground is talked about in 1 and 4- highlighting how the bones are buried under the ground.
From 10:30 in the imagery section, you refer to the mass graves and skeletons dancing as a positive thing, however i was discussing with others that the connotations of a skeleton dancing could be disrespectful, this would be because after death- in religious views- unless you are being tormented by Satan, you are supposed to be in final rest and go to heaven and so i feel that my interpretation of these last few stanzas as being very sarcastic and bitter in the mistreatment of the soldiers.
I thought the Somme was in Northern France, not Belgium. I realise that there was fighting in both countries, but I am confused as to the location of Mametz Wood.
Yes, the Somme is in France; well done, you. I teach English, not Geography! I don't think that I specifically state that Mametz Wood is in Belgium but, as I have only ever visited the Belgian battlefields, I lazily 'slip in' to referring to Belgium a couple of times so I can see how such an inference can be made.
could you say that this pattern in the poem is almost cyclical - as in the last stanza goes back to the first as it mentions "wasted young" to "as if the notes they had sung, have only now, with this unearthing, slipped from the absent tongues" - so their talent, their youth have been wasted ? just asking
I am your saviour, for it is very unlikely the man named Mr Brierley will show up at this late hour. For conflict, the poems that haven’t appeared in a while are as follows: Poppies Futility Charge of the Light Brigade Belfast Confetti Those are your best bets, if any...

For 2016 literature exams revise this last as it came up in our exam in 2015.
+Savage Gamer Thank You
enjambment - The poem flows continually into other stanzas

Umm, hopefully you reply but what poem, if you had to choose do you think will come up, don't say I don't know.
I am your saviour, for it is very unlikely the man named Mr Brierley will show up at this late hour.
For conflict, the poems that haven’t appeared in a while are as follows:
Poppies
Futility
Charge of the Light Brigade
Belfast Confetti
Those are your best bets, if any...
