Poppy Day

Petitpois22 • 135 followers

Vermillion, crimson, titian,
A reminder of the soldiers fighting,
The breeze coaxes them to dance,
The soldiers battle as if in a trance,
Their heavy, silky petals ruffle proudly,
The piercing sound of gunfire resounds around the battlefield;loudly,
Their emerald stems support the ample head,
Whilst the soldiers must plough through a carpet of the dead,
They bask in the sun,
The soldiers must run,
A confetti of special flowers scattered across graves- piled high on the mound,
Whilst blood of innocent soldiers stained the ground,
Poppy day,
To commemorate those who passed away,
Fighting for us...

Remember Them.

For those who gave their lives away, And sacrificed everything each day, We will remember them. For those who go to the fierce war, And them who obey their law, We will remember them.

Poppy Fields

The fields covered in vibrant red. Too many have lost their lives, Are dead. Deafening gunfire has just ceased, Man proven once again to be the beast.
