red poppy by Robert Draves (@draves.robert)
leaves home for war
fresh budding youth with
proud ideal to serve country
mother cherishes each
scripted word of letters home,
hopeful heart brightens like flower
bomb blooms open, cries
for her as red blood darkens soil…
his flag-draped casket returns home
Imaginary Garden with Real Toads‘ weekend mini-challenge with Magaly…
a poem in my pocket
