“The Rain Poured Down” by Dan Gerber, makes you wonder the circumstances of his mother’s weeping… What do you think caused her to cry?

I studied Wilfred Owen (no s) at school. It was a while ago but I still appreciate his work. My favourite poem of his is Futility a poem that talks not only about the futility of putting a corpse into the sunlight as if that might in some way regenerate him but ultimately about the futility of war itself.
Jim,
Oops, thanks for correcting me on the "s." Thanks also for the poem link!
