Notice the simple, direct style typical of a ten year old with the emphasis on the end rhymes.But in the remaining three stanzas, we see expressed a more advanced style, suggesting someone of greater maturity and intelligence.A casual reading of the structuring of the poem as a whole, lends credence to the obvious differences.It is my belief that Willie's father, Abraham,assisted his son who may have been unable to add anything more to his affections for the fallen soldier. But what puzzles me is the publishing of it in the local paper. Which might lead one to believe that the sharing of the composition was added by the editor in his comments to it.Edwin Vogthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15473838989415263882noreply@blogger.com
