Unfinished Drink

For poetry we looked at a poem written for a fallen soldier who never returned for his beer. Pvte. La Tour Mollet d'Augvergne AKA Ted bought a drink from the Waihao Fork bar. At 7:20am a whistle was blown to let the soldiers know the train is departing. Ted told the bartender to keep his drink and he will return to drink it. Sadly, on Monday 2nd of June 1941 which means he did not return to finish his drink. The bottle is kept at the bar he purchased it in and is now surrounded of poppies. This poem is an emotional poem that made me feel happy. I feel happy because the memory of this great man lives on. Another reason I feel happy is that this man has his own memorial which means he is remembered for his deeds not anyone else.
