Poppies

Solstice perennial deed
Vivid blush ingrain seed
Reverence of times past
Pledges for battles cast

Lulling heads, utmost grave
Reverence for services gave
Abloom on war-torn fields
Long ago sacrifice yields

Acclaimed soldier's might
Noble tis honorable fight
For whom bell tolls
Poppies laurel lost souls

Doleful meadow bloodred
Tally those who bled
Rustic fields gently sway
‘Neath skies somber gray
