In Flanders Fields
Book • 2013
"In Flanders Fields" is a poignant World War I poem by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, a Canadian physician.
Written amidst the horrors of the battlefield, the poem uses vivid imagery of poppies growing among the graves of fallen soldiers.
McCrae's use of formal structure and rhyme scheme creates a stark contrast with the poem's grim subject matter.
The poem's message of remembrance and call to action resonated deeply with readers during and after the war.
It remains a powerful symbol of loss and sacrifice in the face of conflict.
