war graves surround me stretching into the distance scarlet poppies grow* eleven o’clock on remembrance Sunday cannon volley heard all birdsong ceases we bow our heads in silence respecting war dead red against the black I wear my poppy with pride in remembrance 11/11/23

A stunning tribute dear Jan. So poignant. So touching and reflective. The last verse, in particular, really has an impact,’ red against black’. Hugs to you for a wonderful, respectful poem. Xx

a powerful poem, Jan. Loved the reference to red poppies and war veterans in any country, souls now silence. I appreciate the respectful tone. Thanks for posting this. Have a splendid Sunday, Sara

Thanks Sara, i thought i would add to the poem i wrote in 2015 and re post as older poems rarely get read once they are no longer on new poems pages:-) hugs Jan xx

Hi Jan. We will remember them at our remembrance serivice at eleven tomorrow. Thousands of young ones sent as lambs to the slaughter. Shocking. But its happening now. When will we ever learn? Hope you are well. Best wishes. Tony X
