This is a good poem, but I know for a fact that half the battles aren't
Napolianic. Gettysburg is civil war, and Ypres and Verdun are both WWI.
Tohru needs to check his sources.

I think this poem is about our eager to forget "bad" things. "Grass" means
memory. In the moment something unpleasant occurs, we start at once
"working" on it, so that the bad memories will eventually go away.

I was told to compare my analysis with others', and it turned out quite
well. It seems to me that the poem is about, as many others said, how
eventually, so-calledly 'important' things are erased and forgotten. I'm
almost positive that the battles are connected because they all involved
Napolean. (...research) In fact, there was another poem by Mr. Sandburg
that I read immediately afterward that was all about Napolean. Coincedece?
(sp?) ...I think not...

Ineresting! after I got back from my world literature class and done
reading a Haiku by Basho, I found things in common in those two poems; war
glorious, and the grass being the witness.

I read this poem long ago and was impacted by the simple message of
indifference I came away with. Several years have passed since both of my
grandparents were killed together and their estate has remained untended
until just recently when I bought the property. Looking around, I saw how
nearly everything had been overgrown and choked with weeds and grass. Gone
were the flower borders, the berry patches, and the vegetable gardens that
they used to keep so meticulously. Immediately I thought of the line 'I am
grass; I cover all'. I was reminded that even our most sacred of places,
whether they be battlegrounds or back yards, are still just pieces of earth
and eventually fall victim to the insidious forces of Mother Nature.

If you notice Sandburg uses places of important events in history.
Waterloo, Gettysburg these things were important, but for some reason I
can't remember why.

This poem is about dying and getting over it. It is a free verse poem.
They are basically saying that things are devistating, but life can and
must go on.
