ANZAC Day Diamante Poem

ANZAC Day Words Of War By Poppy

This week we have been learning about ANZAC Day. We have little ANZAC booklets that have tasks for us to do. There was one called Words of War. Part of the task involved us looking for a poem about the ANZAC soldiers. The Poem that I chose was one called the Red Poppy and it went like this: 

The Red Poppy is a symbol

To simply show we care

For all our fallen heroes 

A loss we all equally share

The Red Poppy is a symbol

For to many we have lost

In every conflict of war

Their valour was at cost

The Red Poppy is a symbol

Wear it with pride for them

As each and every year goes by

We shall remember them. 

It was a very moving and emotional poem that I really liked. My Favorite part of the poem was the end where is says 'We shall remember them'. The reason I used this poem was because it was very easy to work with the questions. I can't wait to celebrate ANZAC Day next year even though it is a sad time.
