In primary 7 we have learning about World War 2 and we wrote some poems inspired by In Flanders Fields. Here is mine :
In Flanders Fields the poppies grow and mark the graves of the dead below That gave thier lives long ago. To save thier children the future of Britain. In modern day we still remember Their lives never die in our hearts forever remembered As the poppies rot and die we think why oh why Must the soldiers have to die I hope you do not have to see the death witnessed by John McRae Who sadly passed away many a year ago As the poppies blow past his grave we Remember the soldiers that were brave The larks still fly up in the sky That sing the tale of the soldiers who die The crying and tear does not match the bloodshed and fearThat you may hear in Flanders Fields.
Andrew, what an amazing poem you have written. Fantastic! You have carefully chosen key words and sentences to trigger the emotions that Remembrance Day can bring. I especially like the reference to John McCrae.
