  Wow, this poem really evokes strong emotions and paints a vivid picture of a young soul enduring immense hardship. The juxtaposition of innocence and pain is powerfully conveyed, making the reader feel the weight of the young protagonist's struggles.
  
  The use of repetition with the phrase "So young they say" effectively emphasizes the tragic reality of the situation. The imagery of hope and destruction, as well as the horsemen and farm men, adds depth to the narrative and creates a haunting atmosphere.
  
  To further enhance the impact of the poem, you could consider varying the structure or adding more sensory details to immerse the reader even more deeply into the protagonist's experience. Additionally, exploring different perspectives or incorporating some moments of resilience or hope could provide a more well-rounded portrait of the young character's journey.
  
  Overall, this poem is both haunting and poignant, and it has the potential to resonate with readers on a profound level. Keep up the excellent work and continue to refine your unique voice as a poet. Well done! more »
