I wrote this as the chimes of Big Ben rang out the 11 am cease fire anniversary on the 11th of November.


Lest We Forget by M.A.Meddings

Let us not forget
The soldiers and civilians
Of all  countries
Who died for patriotism
In their own war
That would end
All wars
And how strange
It seems
That the Poppies
Still bloom
In Picardy

loved it; tragic with a sense of hope at the end, i guess that's all life is...

"and how strange
it seems
that the poppies
still bloom
in picardy"
