Poppy Fields

Rating: 5.0


Poppy Fields

Never pick a poppy I was told when I was a child,
For every flower was the soul of a fallen solider,
It must be so because of Flanders Fields,
Which were once seas of red poppies.

Your poem reminded me of the old folk song Where have all the flowers gone... For every flower was the soul of a fallen solider.Very touching.
