blood splatters
not soldiers' graves
just poppies
Form:haiku
Season: summer
Theme: poppy flowers in a field

Tell me have you ever played a game with unopened poppy buds?
We have this guessing game in Hungary when you tear off a bud and ask someone: beer, wine or brandy? Then you open the bud. White is brandy, pink is beer and red is wine.
Just a silly little game really... but fun. :)

I used to play that game with grandmas poppies. Not that popular...

A poignant haiku with many images to explore and ponder. Well done! :thumbsup:
