A Poppy's Story

Published 15 September 2022
There was a poppy on the ground,
It was quite round,
Cobalt blue seeping from the centre,
The stem was not around.
Baby blue liquid spilt on the dirt,
Soaking it without a sound,
There are no bees to collect nectar,
Because poison has gone far,
But there is still hope,
If we combine together,
We can do better,
We must do better.
