Lisa,
All who go to war or serve in any way are over the top. But those who die serving are truly deserving of all the praise and the honor of all the poppies decorating their memorial.
Congrats for placing third in the contest
Keep writing and stay healhty

a lovely Haiku Lisa and yes the poppy is the Symbol we all identify with especially on our ANZAC and remembrance days
Your words are quite powerful and over the top is an understatement but worthy for this Haiku
Lest We Forget
Cheers Chris

Thanks for reviewing this relevant poem today, Chrissy.
My grandfather was at Gallipoli; luckily he survived and became a famous Aussie war artist.

This haiku, Blood Red Poppies, presented in a 4-6-4 frame, brings the iconic symbol of giving one's all to the fore for our agreeing nod.

A very well-written haiku about the blood red poppies in remembrance of the soldiers losing their lives in the world wars, although we cannot bring them back we remember their sacrifice.

A poignant write especially in WW1 when they all were forced to go to their deaths over the top of the trenches and knew they would all die, it was very tragic, a fine remembrance tribute here Lisa, love Dolly x

In just a few well-chosen syllables, you have paid a well-deserved tribute to those who gave their lives for others' freedom. Poppies serve as a moving symbol of their sacrifice.

Over the top indeed - I can just see the images of soldiers going up and out of those tunnels they used to fight from. The carnage was so awful. And now these walls are a way for folks to connect. Enjoyed your poem

Nice of you to post this! We also wear red poppies in Canada on Remembrance Day! I will have to do some research because I had heard that Canadian soldiers were on the front lines during the war. An interesting bit of history!
Well done!

It seems the Red Poppy symbolizes the memory of soldiers, in more than one place. Here in Canada, we have Armistice Day on November 11th, each year commemorating the end of the First World War.
The bravery of the Aussie and New Zealand soldiers is known Worldwide and those soldiers were sought after big time.
