Red 1 Poppies and War

Red #1
(poppies and war) 
By Michelle Morris
01/09/2020

Red is the colour of poppies 
In motion like the blood spilled 
In the earth and the ocean 
By war and battles; 
Men broken...

Red is the colour of war and danger,
Hearts bleeding for soldiers dying
To protect our freedom and
A way of life for
Future generations...
