Back in May,
The poppies were out in abundance —
Waving gently in the sun;
Some with flamboyant red
Upside down tutus;
Others a mere
Poppy burst.
I took a long time taking photos,
So Ruby had to check on me every now and then.
(She’s still on maternity leave with her pups at the moment though.)

Perfect title with a pun. The image of the poppy reminded me of a famous British poem “In Flanders Field” by poet John McCrae. Here is the link if you care to review it: http://www.bartleby.com/103/83.html
