Poem

**They say he died in glory, What ever that may be. If its dying in a burst of flame, Then glory's not for me.
 * MY BUDDY**

In the briefing room this morning, He sat with clear eyes and strong heart, Just one of many airman Determined to do his part.

My buddy had the guts alright, He sought not glory nor fame. He knew there was a job to do, My crew all felt the same.

But death had the final word, In its log it wrote his name. For my buddy died this afternoon In glory - in a burst of flame.**

This poem is called My Buddy. The poet is unknown. This poem is describing a mans friend that died in a burst of flame. This poem relates to WW2 because the poet says just like any airman. His buddy died in a burst of flame which could mean that is plane might have exploded. The poet is the speaker. The tone of this poem is very sincere. One example of a literary term the poet uses is personification. E is saying that death wrote his buddy's name in is log. Another is he also uses a rhyme scheme in the poem. My favorite lines in the poem are: They say he died in glory what ever that my be. I think that lines 13 and 14 is a unusual way of saying he died, I have never heard that saying before. I feel sad that his buddy died in battle but I am happy he died in glory.
