【明報專訊】John, your powerful poem on Remembrance Day has strong purpose: it helps us reminisce (追憶) about a serious event in the past through the eyes of an anonymous frozen bronze figure (i.e. a statue). As this figure does not move like you or me, you have chosen to show the reader that, while our lives are constantly changing, the events in your poem are "frozen in time". This effective use of imagery helps the reader connect something physical (such as a statue or faded poppies) to a feeling (a lack of change or forgotten lives).
