Gypsy, I'm sorry that I missed this one, but I'm glad that I found it buried in my in-box. Your poem is soulful and has high sensory appeal. Your words are also true. Of special note:
are all that's left ~
of freedom fighters
(Just sharing why this poem resonates with me ... My father survived his military injuries, only after spending more than two years in the Walter Reed Hospital in Washington DC, but he left his blood/his youth on the fields of Germany. If he saw the world today, he would be quite upset.)
Well done. Xo. M

I'm sorry for your loss. Loosing a father or mother it's hard.
I'm happy my poem brought good memories.
Thank you very much for your excellent review and kind words.

That's such a sad thing. Those weeds - crimson because of the color of the blood that was spilled due to the wars- are what grows over the bodies of the soldiers who gave their lives.

Comment from RJ Heritage
This is a very sentimental and deeply felt piece of work, I could easily tell. I have a few people who have served in my family, going back to World War 1. I known that there are many people like me as well. May they rest in peace, until the resurrection. Thank for sharing.

Comment from Alexandra Trovato
That is an interesting perspective. I also sew things symbolically like that, but since poppies are associated with veterans, this makes a powerful post with descriptive words and imagery. Well done!

I kept bouncing from one interpretation to another. Was this a poppy field or were the crimson weeds actually the bodies of the freedom fighters. Either way, this was a very powerful piece of writing. Gretchen

I will add an explanation in author notes. The crimson weeds is a metaphor for soldiers blood. I will change weeds to poppies, Barbara and Helen mentioit too.
Thank you very much Gretchen

I'm wondering if these crimson weeds are poppies. They could be because many fields are covered with them, and I doubt they were planted. It really doesn't make any difference. This is an excellent poem and presentation.

I though about poppies. I was very fond of them growing up. In Spain they are everywhere.
Thank you very much, Barbara.
