Poppy

by Navy Blue Heart   May 7, 2007


Simple poppy by a tomb
Mourns a boy from mother's womb
Who wanted glory same as most
And tales of courage with which to boast.
Simple poppy by a cross
That still remains anonymous.

    It was amazing. I loved in how such short lines and simple wording, you were able to convey something with so much depth and meaning..
    I loved the concept
    Excellent work as always

    Haha...that's deep. I like how it was short but to the point. The words were very good, and you used good word choice. That way no matter how little you write, the words can convert into thousands of words, and can paint pictures. If you're able to do that, you can do anything with your words :) And you can.
