Flowers Of The Trenches Poem by Christopher Tye
Flowers Of The Trenches
Flowers Of The Trenches
Look at where the trenches once were,
A century has all but made them invisible,
Overgrown and silted up as nature reclaims them,
Just wild flowers and grasses on show now.
But a century on the wounds are still there,
Barbed wire and shell cases slowly corroding,
Unknown soldiers sleeping where they fell,
And scars still bourn by families and humanity.

I have seen pictures of those fields that you speak off, and to the naked eye you would never know what lies beneath those flowers. A lovely write. Annette
