Description

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. John McCrae

Awesome post Jenny. Excellent choice of images for today. I just quoted this poem on Mies's page. She had also posted an image of a poppy. I was not sure if the poppy has the same symbolism in other countrys that it has here in Canada. Thank you for the timely post.

Thanks Jenny for this touching poem. I didn't know for sure, the poppy was a symbol of the battle. Your picture also has a great mood as in the poem, and a great pov.

The image has the same meaning in the States, but I'm afraid the younger generations don't remember that meaning. And that's a shame for them--or for the older generations who haven't taught them what the poppies mean. Thank you for reminding us with your beautiful picture.
