‘April Fool’ From ‘The Canterbury Tales’ by Geoffrey Chaucer
‘The Canterbury Tales’ is a collection of 24 stories written in Middle English between 1387 and 1400.
The poem tells of a trick played by a fox. These words, in English, are supposedly the earliest recorded ‘foolishness’ played on April the first.

Whispers back the day
I heard rustle your kind song
Spring lifts horizons
Love’s secret garden
An elaborate masquerade
Twilight’s hidden song
This collaboration came about through a discussion with Stephen focused upon my original poem inspired by Eugenia’s word prompt ‘Song'(amanpan.com). Stephen’s contribution appeared in my comment box.

In Flanders Fields by John McCrae
The First World War ended on November 11th. 1918.
This date is now known as Armistice Day.
Over 16 million people died in battle or were civilian casualties of the war.
John McCrae was a Canadian doctor. He served as as a Lieutenant-Colonel in the war.
The poem was published in 1915, and its immediate success led to it being quoted in propaganda as part of the war effort. The reference, in the poem, to the red poppies of Flanders has led to the the symbolic significance of the wearing of poppies on Remembrance Day each year.
John McCrae died of pneumonia during combat action in 1918, just eight months before the war ended.
