Message From The Care Home Front

I accept that for some the poppy is unacceptable. (That statement would bear thinking about for a moment or two). I shall not engage with any rants in the comments. Thank you. BTW this is the only poem I entered for a comp this year. (Of course it didn't).

I really enjoyed this.

It had nice rhythm and some good internal rhyme.

I wonder if you really need the final stanza? What does it add? It does jerk the/this reader right out of the atmosphere you have so skilfully created. \\\\
