A crimson field,
Full of blood,
Men dying,
A ruby flood.
A crimson sky,
Reflecting on,
All that bloodshed,
Under midday sun.
A crimson flower,
Reminding us,
Of heroes that died,
In all this fuss.

Just a heads up I will be judging the young writers house hold on the 10th. Same time, 10:00pm (GMT) please repost this so that everybody knows.
#youngwritershousehold. This is my tale. Of how I died. In that scarlet dress of mine. My beautiful ball. To crown me queen. Everyone was there. To see the new crowned queen. What a joyous day it was.
I was a snug, bug in a rug, Until that human gave me a tug, I tumbled down wearing a frown, My god, what a dumb human thug. #youngwritershousehold.
So I'll start by thanking @ren360 for choosing me, means a lot :) but I guess I now have to pick a word which is..... Knife Sorry if it has been done, but I think it'll be good.
#youngwritershousehold Scarlet Crimson Burgundy: RED. Whatever you Call it, It will still be RED. Anger Passion Hatred: RED. Intense Nothing's Halfway with RED. Fire Blood Roses: RED.
Hello again. I'm so excited to judge again, it's been awhile. Lol. Good job to everyone who entered, and thanks @jan3601 for picking my poem.
@Janflower Thanks. Based on a few world war 1 books I read. My great grandpa died fighting.
@ashhkat I unfortunately didn't know him, as he died shortly after my grandpa was born, so he grew up with no father.
