Poppy Poems


The Poppy is a symbol of hope ... the Finnish word for poppy is Unikko ... uni means dream, vision and plan for the future.
In many countries celebrated Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day) November 11, to honor the fallen soldiers in both world wars.


Between the poetry that lives in your heart and poppy are

a contract
written by the wind and signed by the decay ..

Harry Martinson



Now flowers for your volatile fragile sake
Poppy, your flower.
For your sake, I lift the banner of opium.
or your sake I drink, spilling my wine.
