Poppy poem writing prompt entry
|
Writing Prompt Write a poem, any format, create your own title, for Poppy Day, that is the Remembrance period(end October to Nov 11th) to honor members of the armed forces who have died in line of duty. |
The abundance of poppies was inspired by the World War I poem, "In Flanders Field."
A portion of the poem reads, "In Flanders fields the poppies blow / Between the crosses, row on row, / That mark our place, and in the sky, / The larks, still bravely singing, fly, / Scarce heard amid the guns below. / We are the dead; short days ago / We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, / Loved and were loved, and now we lie / In Flanders fields."
