REMINDER

 They remind me of war and the pain that war brought to people, and the cruelty of the war.

I remember when I first came to London I was surprised to see poppies because I have never seen real poppies before. The more I knew about the story of poppy the sadder I felt. Poppy connects to war. No matter win or lose, people suffered losses and pain. For me, poppies look like wounds on soldiers' bodies and wounds.  The damages that the war brought to people are permanent. They like a reminder,  reminding us of the cruelty of the war.
