[Kier Scrivener · Rating 4 out of 5]

This will always remain one of my favourite poems, one that I read every November and time and time again through the year. The depth of emotion and rawness is tangible.

One of the most touching poems about war and the soldiers who died in war. A worthy read and an apropos work to read and reflect upon.

A captain in the Canadian army was at Flanders Fields (in France) attending a funeral of a fallen soldier(World War 1). He saw all the graves and poppies and got inspired to write this poem. In Canada we have Remembrance Day (Nov. 11) where Canadian wear poppies in remembrance of all of the fallen soldiers.
