    In the poetry of 1914 there is both crude propaganda and poems that are subtle and deeply moving if naïve. The poetry in 1914 had purpose for why they were written.

    Poetry Analysis On This Day I Complete My Thirty-Sixth Year The poem is quick to assert that‚ maybe even provide a caveat‚ that one should take their life seriously and live their life to the fullest.
