the basic ausmoon's it's a nice poem.... In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

It is a poem written by a canadian soldier...and one that is read every remembrance day :-)

i know, but I feel it doesn't push a strong feeling. It's nice but not very strong in what it says

It does push a strong feeling I have always felt that...many cry when it is read...you need to know the history of that poem...it was written in Flanders fields amoung the dead and dying soldiers. I feel it every time i read it...every time it is read, knowing people died right at the time it was created

i know about the poem and when it was written and about the lose we all took, Sorry and I agree ,, As it was written, that the writer was a first source. as being there

That poem is why we were poopies on remembrance day...i think it affects the people who were there, and people who have families in the military and police force more than those who do not. Everyone gets a different feeling from whatever poem they read...part of the interesting and unique things about them...you get what you are feeling at the time out of it. :-)
