Having explored both poems, I feel that the one which brings about the biggest response from me is ?Dulce et Decorum est?. This is because of the striking graphic imagery he uses, the way he describes the effects of the war on him, and also because of the way he directs the poem at the reader personally, using phrases such as ?you? and ?my friend?. In my opinion, ?The Charge of the Light Brigade? does not have the impact and the realism to convey the opinions contained in it effectively and forcefully. I feel is a more imaginative, outlook on war than Wilfred Owen?s graphic poem. The thing I did like about Tennyson?s poem was the excitement and passion and pace.
