n 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.

 

Time to wear your poppies with pride, remember the fallen, care for the living.

 

The Poppy Appeal 2008

I don't wear poppies but I think of the warriors every time I go to my uni flat. :)

i'd like that we had things like that here...

^ Nice. I'll be wearing my poppy for sure. I usually wait until Nov. 1stish.

I met Poppy Man a couple weeks back as he was 'touring' camp

I thought yesterdays show was amazing, that song, and when Scott was voted off, I got a tear in my eye like Louis!, I sooo felt for him and it was all so emotional including this song!

I'm afraid you've been totally duped.

It's all done for show.;)

But the money raised will hopefully be good :)

Is it possible to donate money on the condition it isn't played??:P

I wouldn't normally be so cynical, but the camera went off

Louis and then came almost straight back to him & the tears had miraculously dried & he was smiling.

Where X Factor's concerned, it pays to be very cynical indeed. I'm pretty sure absolutely nothing is left to chance.

Everything is very carefully planned and orchestrated.

The revelation that all the finalists had been sent to have their teeth whitened was the final straw.:dozey:

I wonder whose turn it'll be to cry next week?? Place your bets now!!:rolleyes:

Futility

 

Move him into the sun -

Gently its touch awoke him once,

At home, whispering of fileds unsown.

Always it woke him, even in France,

Until this morning and this snow.

If anything might rouse him now

That kind old sun will know.

 

Think how it wakes the seeds -

Woke, once, the clays of a cold star.

Are limbs so dear-achieved, are sides

Full-nerved, -still warm, - too hard to stir?

Was if for this the clay grew tall?

- O what made fatuous sunbeams toil

To break earth's sleep at all?
