Written for: Carpe Diem #1716 Poppies
“Welcome at the 2nd episode of our new CDHK month August 2019. This month we are “creating” a field of flowers, all prompts will be flowers that we can find in the fields around us. We will see a lot of beautiful flowers … Today I have chosen “poppies” to work with.”

poppies still redder
sacrifice for God

one summer day
poppies coloring the meadows –
raindrops start to fall

Here is my attempt:
red cups in field
wait to be filled with showers
poppy vessels
