This poem is obviously about a war. The author makes you feel as if you are there. He tells the story as if he is talking to you right there on the battle field. He says Gas! GAS! Quick, boys! as if he is talking to you. This is how he grabs your attention.
Another thing I noticed was the use of colors to set the mood. He uses green as a sick eary feeling. The gas being a green foamy sea. His white eyes being pure. His face hung like the devil's skin. These are all terrible connections. It brings saddness and distress. The white eyes show the innocence and purity of these dying soldiers.
