Poppy

Poppy

It’s inevitable I’d find a poppy around Remembrance Day as they so easily come loose from peoples garments. The Poppy Appeal versions are the worst as either you find them whole because the pin supplied lacks sufficient grip or you’d come across disembodied segments strewn about the ground, although I never no why as they seem to have been securely fastened in the first place.

Once in my younger more curious days I thought I’d try to prize one apart to find out how it was made; sadly looking back now at how I innocently hadn’t realised how disrespectful I was being towards those poor dead men who died for our country.
