Answer:
The title of the poem "The Wound in Time" is appropiate because the poem was made to remember the terrible wounds war leaves. Even though the war is over, there would always be history as a reference of the death of people.
Explanation:
The author of this poem Carol Ann Duffy was asked to write a poem to commemorate the the centenary of Armistice Day of 1918. The poem speaks about war and how its ominous efects. Of how war has not been over, because it has repetedly come again. "What happened next?
War. And after that? War. And now? War. War." This passage refers how war is still there.
There is a passage were the author claims how the sacrifice of all the death soldiers were not enough to learn that war is not a solution.
"History might as well be water, chastising this shore;
for we learn nothing from your endless sacrifice."
The whole poem talks about how war lives a wound in time, it can never be erased what happened.
