In Flanders Fields - poem

We didn't have to memorize it -- or anything else. I wish we would have had to. I often heard my parents and great aunts reciting beautiful poetry they still remembered from school when they were kids. But in my schools we barely read poetry, let alone memorized any. That's definitely a step backward, I think. Thank you for this great set, Colin!

Me too. It's pretty special - almost a century old now.

So did we, ginny.

Poignant poem.

thanks, we had to memorize this in school. ,
