[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1771961, member: 18945"] Silver: I like the poppy. The very 1st poem I ever had to learn in grade school was written by a Canadian Dr serving in WW1 Europe. I have never forgotten it. 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. [edit] (I copied this simply to avoid having to type it. I just noticed the last word in the 1st sentence is different than how I was taught. I learned it (around 1958) to begin "In Flanders Fields the poppies [B]grow[/B].." [/QUOTE]
