Remember the brave
On Flanders Fields the poppies lie
Covering the graves were our brave soldiers did die,
We shall not forget them.
And even though they fought with all their might
Still our soldiers died through day and night,
We shall not forget them.
And this day still soldiers risk their lives for ours
Fighting throughout the day for long, long hours,
We shall not forget them.
So wear those poppies on your chest with pride
To remember the determined soldiers who died,
We shall not forget them.
For the soldiers who died age no longer affects them
They stand in the heavens watching over us,
We shall remember them.
Wow, what an amazing way of remembering rememberance day. I surely do wish that the people in the war were still here today so I could interview them!

Lovely poem Amy. I like how you gave it a structure with the repeating lines and then changed the one at the end. It is a very poignant poem and perfect for Remembrance Day. Well done.

ReplyDeleteDear friends,
ReplyDeleteYour poem is sad, but beautiful. My favourite part of your poem is when you have rhymed. I also liked how used description. I really enjoyed reading your poem. Maybe next time, you could use some similes.

Hello Amy,
ReplyDeleteI really like your war poem. It really gives the message that soldiers are out their fighting for our country. I think wearing a poppy is important so you can raise money for the service men and woman fightin for us. I really like your repitition at the end of each sentence.
