Flanders Fields
Flanders Fields makes me feel sorry about the soldiers that gave up their live to go to war and they didn’t die peacefully. I also feel that I’m grateful for the soldiers who saved us and went to war and sacrificed themselves for us.
Flanders field poem was sad
I felt depressed, as well as happy because it reminded me about the people that saved our country. It makes me feel happy for them. They saved all of us in the past. The sentence, ‘If ye break faith with us who die. It touches me a lot’.
Flanders field poem was sad and flanders field made me think of the soliders serving on the front line to pretect us all
Flanders Fields makes me feel emotional, upsetting and tearful because of how many people actually died in the war and it makes me think back.
Flanders fields
Flanders fields makes me feel melancholy and confused because I do not like people or soldiers who saved us in the war die. Also I did not understand the poem at first but when we studied it I understood it very well.
In flanders fields I felt really disgusted, also really greatfull because they saved our country and we all have freedom.I feel disgusted because lots of people died and makes me realize that lots of families are extremely depressed!!!The sentence what made me fell disgusted was: ‘In flanders fields poppies blow between the crosses,row on row

Flanders Fields makes me feel very depressed. Because it makes me realize that so many people died just to save us.
Flanders Fields
Flanders fields make me feel depressed.
It made me realize that all these people gave their lives for us, to make sure we were safe and not threatened. It gave me shivers and it just stopped me. It made me really think.
It made me think about family and about their family. I wondered about how their families felt. I guess it’s kind of hard to think that all these people died and not just 10 people but thousands and thousands of people.
I like this poem because it makes me feel proud. Proud of the people who fought for our rights. I say thank you.
FROM AICHA.
We shall remember you,
we have held up the torch
We know that you were dead days ago
But, we held up to make you have faith in us,
You have done more than we did
and we have to make that change.
very nice. Great vocabulary

Flanders field!
Flanders field makes me feel emotional because it makes me think about all the people who ever died in war and one of them was my great granddad. Also it makes me a b it depressed because it is a deep poem and makes me upset.
Flanders fields makes me feel cold and sorry for the soldiers who had died in the war, because it is not just for me or you it was for everyone.
In Flanders field
This poem makes me feel emotional because lots of people died. In this poem, it says ‘In Flanders fields the poppies blow’ and you know it is after the war. ‘We are the Dead, Short days ago’ that means it is the end of war. How would you feel? Also this poem is set in Flanders field, lots of people passed away during world war 2.
Flanders fields
When I read Flanders fields poem it makes me feel scared and emotional, also, it makes me cry. It was sad because in the poem lots of people died ‘between the crosses, row and row’. I think that this poem is unpleasant due to the fact that it is about death and war. How would you feel if you were in this war? I would feel upset
From Tianna 6b
In Flanders Fields!!!
This poem makes me think strongly about wars. The second stanza is very emotional especially to the people that had a granddad die during that time. The gunshots make everything sound, as if it’s the war now. This poem [in Flanders fields] is very emotional.
Even though that the poem was unpleasant and emotional I feel relieved because they are now heroes as well as some men lived and saved England. John McCrae, who is such a good poet, makes such sad and rhyming poems. How would you feel if you were in the war and you dies? As a result we now have Remberance day, when we were bright red poppies.
The poem Flanders Fields is a very depressing poem. In addition, my favourite part was ‘In Flanders Fields the poppies flow between the crosses row on row’, because it is rythmitic. Also, it reminds me of my great great granddad , who fought in World War Two, valliantly he survived!

This poem makes my heart ache due to the fact that lots of people passed away. The part ‘We live, felt dawn, saw sunset glow’ makes me feel emotional the most.

We have the torch which has been passed down
we know you have given up your life for us
now we shall do the same and we shall hold the torch high until we die
Your body may have died,
But your spirit is still inside
We will never forget you,always remember
Your soul is still alive, as long as there is,
11th of November.
We have caught the torch of Flanders field .
Your running was not in vain.
Your poppy has been remembered by all, We won’t,
Let you down – the torch will be high forever.
On Flanders fields.
Your body lies across the floor,beside the people you adore.
The words you have said, are still stuck in our head.
We caught the torch that you threw, and I’ll do anything just for you.
I’m wearing a poppy just for you, that’s from the people that you love and knew…
This is our stanza for the poem In Flanders Fields.
We have caught your torch, and we will take up your quarrel
with the foe.
The torch, hold it high and win the battle.
Never give up.
In Flanders Fields,
Where the poppies grow,
And the Dead lie,
The poppies shall be worn,
To remember you by,
For we have caught your torch,
And will carry it bravely, wherever we go,
Poppies sway from side to side as your bravery still lives,we have caught your torch on flanders fields and shall cherish it forever,
eventhough you had died a hundred years ago ,
you will always be in our hearts until the dawn touches the dusk.
We once held the torch,
but now we leave it to you.
We have grabbed the torch,
we have held it high rememberance of you.
We have seen the poppies grow and we have
seen them go , but every red delecut poppy reminds us of you.
We’ll never surrender,
We’ll take your place
In the fight
We’ll make you worth dying for
In the night in Flanders Fields
We’ll flattern them , wipe them out
Untill they shout the two words no one wants to say
In Flanders Fields hip hip horay!
Response to Flanders Fields.
Crosses fill the Flanders Fields,
And Larks are in the air.
We will remember you,
No matter what.
We’ll just try annd make it fair . . .
The ammo flies,
But the Larks wont die,
Just soldiers are gone,
The angels all cry.
How many more dreadful years are to come?
It doesn’t matter, nothing matters,
We’ll make your passing meaningfull.
And never, EVER run!
We died for you,
Now we cry for you.
Now, there’s a hole in my life . . .
sorry for the spelling mistakes.
it is very good
what do you like about it?
Nate, this is a really lovely thoughtful response. I particularly like how you included rhyme without making the rhyming silly. I look forward to seeing more of your poetry.
Good rhythm it flowed well and I enjoyed reading it!

i think Flanders field poem is a very emotional poem because its about people dying for the country, also it is a very sad poem because they did this just for us and are family this is a very touching poem. I think the part that was sad was when the author quoted we live,felt dawn, saw sunset glow.i think it means they used to live and was loved and now there in flanders field, dead.
i really like this poem!
we shall remember who fought for use
the brave soldiers who died IN WAR
the poppy the poppy we will all remember
for all that have DIED in flanders field
I think it is really sad because all those people died but they did it for the good of they country.
I am turely grateful that all the soilders died and fought for our country. “We will never forget you and you will always be remembered.”

FLANDERS FIELDS RESPONSE
in flander’s fields the poppie’s grow

I am truly grateful that the soldiers died for our country to save us because if they didn’t do this we would still be in war.
In flanders fields the poppies grow

Flanders Field
In Flanders field lay dead bodies

if ye break faith with us now. we’ll let the poppy

By Ayub Gillespie school
Yes we will
Yes we will remember Flanders feilds
were the dead lay,
Yes we will chatch the tourch
Feet under blood red poppys,
Yes we will think about the soilders
on remberence day,
Yes we will look up to the birds
that fly over flanders feilds,
Yes we will remember the dead,
Yes we will remember the war the war that gave are futer happyness.
In Flanders Field their poppies grow
Their roots reach down amongst the bones
The mlodding bones
Their soul now waits deep under ground
Amongst the shattered flegment of twisting death of youthful
no heroes these but comman men
breath of gas from chocking death
In the world, where peace has began
In all the land where you shall see.
That mark our place; and on earth.
We are reaching your goal, putting the effort in as we live.
On Earth.
We are the living. Years to go.
We work, we learn, we survive.
Love from our family and now we might die.
On Earth.
We fix our problem with our foe.
We will not let you fail as throw
Our torch; we will hold it high.
Our world will never break belief with you.
We shall help you sleep, though peace will grow.
On Earth
Our heart is thuping for those in the WAR
Our heart is thuping for those in the WAR ,
Realisng the dead ,
Knowing there charatcteristics,
Yes people do it for there country,
But people dying should not be the case
So please remember the dead.
We know that my heart will
(RIP)
World At War
Called to war serving our time,
Parted again from our children and wife,
Opening and closing our front doors,
Bang,slam against the walls,
Ready to fight ,
Time to go to war.
Putting our life’s on the line,
Can’t back away now, can’t surrender,
The war has began,
Salute my city with pride,
Ready for them to take my life,
No time to cry for my friend,
Knowing that this is the end.
Here we lay on the sea of blood red poppies,
All our life’s have ended,
We fought our battles together,
And we end our life’s together,
We stayed strong and never gave in,
Until it was too late,
Now we are berried in Flanders Fields,
Is this the end?
Or just the beginning?
