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...
