Tribute To The Fallen Poem by Colin Ian Jeffery
Tribute To The Fallen
Blood red poppies
Cascade battlements
Waterfall
Flooding moat.
Each poppy for a soldier's life
Lost upon foreign battlefield
Son, brother, father, uncle
Never returning home.
As long as the wind blows
Sun and moon reign
Day and night the heavens
They shall be remembered.
One hundred years has passed And still their sacrifice is remembered Given in blood to keep the world free Creating this land safe from oppression. Very nice poem and really an excellent writing shared on.
Great and touching tribute. Of all your war poems, I think I liked this the most.
Your poem is so universal in its content, line of thought..a soldier anywhere, one who sacrificed his lives for others. What is it about a human being that pushes him to put others interest above his own, what is it about soldiers that goads them to face that fatal bullet, knowing the inevitable! Lovely write! Thank you.
a good reading your tribute to the fallen of WW1 - a tribute to all soldiers, anytime, who sacrificed their lives in the most horrific and stupid sin of us human beings: war!
A very nice tribute to our fallen soldiers. They should never be forgotten. Will remain always in our hearts. Nice.
Liked the tribute being conferred the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the cause of mother land who will never return home again.

A soldier, who sacrificed his life for the sake of his country, has been aptly described as: A son, brother, father, uncle Never to return home to those he loves. A tribute by those who were left behind echoes in your wonderful poem. Great work
