Poppy Poems

The ANZAC Poppy
In the battle field of doom
A long wide carpet of blood red poppies lie.
The petals are so red and show soldiers are dead.
The dull green stems show the soldiers clothing.
Smokey air from the gun's shooting.
Tragic war ends, but not the poppy.

Blood Red Poppy
Dying soldiers, blood puddles,
Tanks all over the place.
Battlefield.

Petals of poppies,
The stems are very
hairy and green.

Blown up trucks
Poppies are a reminder
of the dead soldier's blood.

Blood poppies swaying in the battle field of doom.
