Remembrance Day
Memorialise," the banner said,
"on paper petals, bloody red,
the dead
but not forsaken!."
And one by one the poppies bloom
to make the wall a sombre tome
of loved
and lovers lingering!.
And 'midst this grave remembrance
a poppy penned in innocence
Bore Rosie
and her day of birth!.
Memorialise those heroes dead
but celebrate with equal head
the blush
of Rosie's blooming!.
This happened yesterday!. Seeing the girl attach her poppy with her name and birthday to the wall, amidst all those poppies of the glorious dead, was the most poetic thing that I can recall!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
