flanders fields salute

 

Distillation: “distill” long poem (In Flanders Field by John McCrae) into haiku

remember blood debts

white crosses stand,  red poppies

bloom in Flanders fields.

 

Googlism:  

red poppy is the symbol of freedom

red poppy is also known as field poppy

red poppy is a celebration of battlefield heroics

red poppy is most recognizable symbol for disabled veterans of many countries

red poppy is a symbol that brings home the catastrophe of war

red poppy is not to glorify war

red poppy is inherently a symbol of peace.

back to the fifties is a garden from the past

back to the fifties is experiencing a huge renaissance

back to the fifties is a look at the era when “father knew best” and “we loved lucy”

back to the fifties is held every year in july and attracts classic cars from all over the united states

back to the fifties is really rad man

back to the fifties is back!
