100 word challenge #10

14/11/2014

On 11th November each year, people remember those who have died fighting in wars and conflicts. This year we are commemorating the centenary of World War I. The prompt this week is:

…Remember…

You might like to write about how it felt to be left at home worrying; you may want to write about how it felt to go away from your loved ones and fight in a foreign land; you may like to write a poem about how you feel on Remembrance Day.

Just remember the people who were in the army and died. We will always remember them and they will do the same. If they didn't fight we would not be here we would not be on computers we would not be in famous homes so they have a short poem that goes like this. In Flanders fields 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; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

We will remember them. They sacrifeced their lives for our future generations. Every man had to join the army in order to protect the country. John McCrae was a famous poet, his poem was called 'In Flanders Fields'. During World War 1 and 2 the Poppys grew in Flanders Fields which brought colour back to life. He was also a doctor, author and artist. When John McCrae was a doctor he worked in a field hospital. The word Flanders originated in Western Belgium. John McCrae was 17 year's old when he joined the military army. The Poppy is a symbol to remind us of the fallen soldiers.

REMEMBER remember
The 11th November
Many men died
Many families cried
We worship and pray
On this special day
As you lay fallen in mud
Red poppy represents your blood
At 11 o'clock we stay silent
To remember the war, it was so violent
Birds didn't tweet
As you stood on your feet
You prayed it would cease
And finally we had peace
The lives you gave
Because you were brave
Remember the people who were in the war
Cos this is who this is all for
On Flanders fields poppies grew
Between the crosses in morning dew
Lest we forget

Poppy Poem

Poppy’s are red,
Violets are blue,
I will REMEMBER them,
And so will you,
Family or not,
Friends or not,
We will still remember.

In Flanders field,
Where the poppy’s lay,
No more guns or bangs,
No smoke or screaming,
Its peaceful now,
So go and visit.

As bullets whistle over heads,
In the dirty trenches,
Where the soldiers sit,
Waiting for the orders,
To go over the top and attack,
They write their letters home,
Remembering their loved ones.

Loved ones sit,
Awaiting the news,
Scared but proud,
The post arrives,
It’s a telegraph!
We will always remember.

On Remembrance Sunday I went to my Grandma & Grandads for a bit then I walked down to the village were the remembrance parade was. I stood with my Mam, brother and sister while they got lined up in their different groups. Then came a man , with a very loud voice, he got everyones attention as he shouted for the parade to 'quick march'. Ferryhill band led the parade marching all the way around the town hall playing a song to the church. Once they got to the church all the groups and followers who wanted to go to the church service went inside while the band went into the church hall to have a cup of tea and warm up. When the service was finished we all went back outside then they marched back round to the village hall and my uncle played the last post in front of everyone while the flags were lowered to remember all those who fought and lost their lives in the war. Then the band played again while people put the poppy wreaths down. After that I went home it was a great day.

As I walked through the misty graveyard I thought to myself if they hadn't fought for us then I probably wouldn't be here today. Then a strong wind blew against my face and I said to myself remember the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for us. Suddenly the ground began to shake and the soil from the tops of the graves broke. All the people who died in the war 1 and 2 were walking towards me and pushed me into a grave and covered me up with soil. But I jumped up and pushed them back in their graves. I said to myself huh well that was weird.

Remember remember
The 11th of November
Poppies sold
story's told

Solders lied
Children cried
Memories past
Lives never last

Germans where crying
Britain was dying
People where found
In many towns

Never where lost
Never where found
In Flanders field
Poppies where pealed

Poppies grew
Children knew
Paper was sold
With memories told.

We should remember the people who fought in the war because they sacrificed their lives for us and our country. The men were extremely brave! Many people wear a poppy as a sign of remembrance! Lots of families feel sad on remembrance day because some of their family died in the war

We will remember them they gave up their lives for us for our country! We should be grateful, respectful and show that we care.

In Flanders fields the poppy grows it may be the only thing that survives the war! The poppy is a sign of bravery, courage and loyalty. We need to be proud of them, we need to care
The poppy is a significant flower because they represent the blood of the solders who died! The poppy also grows in Flanders fields. Even though they have died we must still remember them and the good they did for our country.

I remember when my brother cracked his chin open on holiday.It was two more days until we came back to England from Ibiza.He had to go to the hospital to get it stitched up, he was screaming in the hospital so it was harder to get it stitched up.When he came out of the room he was still screaming, when we got back to the hotel he stopped screaming, I thought what a relieve.

Remember the solders who died
Remember the men, women and children who cried
Remember the good and the brave
Remember the men who went to their grave
Remember the solders who returned from the war
Remember the blackouts and the bombs that tore
Remember in silence on armistice day
Remember The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th mouth
Remember your poppy and wear it with pride, to show your respect and stand side by side.
We will never forget!

In the fields were they fought
They were captured and caught
In the air and at sea on the ground they had to flee
They were brave
They were scared
But there families all cared
We wear poppies for respect and spend a minute to think
How brave in 1914 to 1918 our men and women were
Leaving family's,loved ones, friends so young but the
11th of the 11th was the day that we won.
We REMEMBER this day LEST WE FORGET .
The day the British soldiers had no regret .

The year is 1914 and I was told that I was going to war I felt broken because I will probably never see my girlfriend again. When we were here the war zone it was very muddy my poor legs were hurting it was a long time to walk. I can't REMEMBER my girlfriends face any more .the banging was getting louder when night fell we slept in a barn full of hay I did not sleep a wink and couldn't stop remembering about my family it hurt so I stopped . When the war was finished I was still alive .

it's a sad day
It's the sad day for remembering dead family members.
It's the day when lots of poppies, that are red, are sold.
It's the day when we are silent for one minute.
That is my poin

Remember remember the 11th of November
We stand in silence
And they had to stand violence

And the poppies that we buy,
each one stands for a body that lies, in Flanders field.

November is a time to REMEMBER the people that have died, people that have cried a hundred years ago.
Poppies were sold, children were told all about the brave men that have died, the people that have cried a hundred years ago.
Weapons were made, people stayed in the in the terrifing trenches a hundred years ago.
People were found, in the horrifying sound of war a hundred years ago.
The sound of peace, the birds would tweet in the beautiful song of laughter at the end of the world war a hundred years ago.

I wouldn't like to be in the war but if I was I'd hope I never had to go over the ladder and out the trench because I could get bombed or shot. If there was no spaces left in the field hospital soldiers would be left to die, its sad. But if I was a medic I would have to be careful going on the battlefield and gathering injured people. If I was a general I'd have to be very very very careful because people would be aiming at me. So remember those who died for our country.

"How to Die"

Dark clouds are smouldering into red
While down the craters morning burns.
The dying soldier shifts his head
To watch the glory that returns;
He lifts his fingers toward the skies
Where holy brightness breaks in flame;
Radiance reflected in his eyes,
And on his lips a whispered name.

You'd think, to hear some people talk,
That lads go West with sobs and curses,
And sullen faces white as chalk,
Hankering for wreaths and tombs and hearses.
But they've been taught the way to do it
Like Christian soldiers; not with haste
And shuddering groans; but passing through it
With due regard for decent taste.
