The Poppy

A single flower,
the pettles stained red,
forever.

A single flower,
to say,
remember me.

A single flower,
found in fields.
remember the cost.

A single flower,
sees the tears,
flowing freely.

A single flower,
heard the gunshots,
saw them fall.

A single flower,
covers the markers,
of the brave.

A single flower,
the sign of the lost,
of the loved.

A single flower,
is what we use,
to say, "we remember."

Hi there my little one,
Wow, just thirteen, yet from your words and your web page you seem much over.
I have come here to beg your forgiveness for borrowing your wonderful poem, The Poppy. I have left a rather big blog , here in Thoughts.com, which is my expression of the war and the world we live in. It was all finished before I looked at your blog and the poem.
I have four web sites, very big ones , but I try to find time to visit others. I have copied your poem and I have placed it as a blog in the web site.

it is on the page labelled French - Spice. Do come over and see it, it is accredited to you entirely and I hope you do not mind.
hugs Seligor xxx
