Analysis and comments on The Red Poppy by Louise Gluck

Comment 2 of 2, added on October 20th, 2005 at 12:39 PM.

please were a poppy the lady said and held one fourth but i shook
my head then i stopped and watched as she offered them there
and face was old and lined with care.
But beaneth the years the scares had made that remaind a smile
that refused to faid a boy came whistling down the street
bouncing along on care free feet.
