Poppies

On our digital contract this week we had to make a poppy for ANZAC Day. The reason why the poppy is significant is because poppies grew on the ground were the dead soldiers laid  it was also because of a poem called Flanders Field by Canadian poet  John McCrae i goes like this "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 yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

        In Flanders fields". any way he is my poppy and a like to the  website that taught me how to do it The Website
