Poppyfields poems on Hello Poetry

Carlo C Gomez Dec 2021

~
A no-man's land,
ablaze in scarlet

A no-man's land,
the blood and the bones of men

The more who died,
the more they thrived

A no-man's land,
flowered along the banks
from which the dead drank,
to forget their former existence,
when they were singing
in the lulls

A no-man's land,
offering a touch
of Heaven in Hell

Twisted Discovery

I discovered A Message in the sky
around the Poppyfields, watching soldiers march by
the clouds they shouted What If, look out, watch for Spies
I simply stand with my Glass of Water looking for Proof of Green Eyes
and Twisted Logic failed me soon as I jumped down with 42 Parachutes...
Trouble's coming but I digress, knowing Life Is for Living, unlike all the rest...
