Name the sound

 

 Onomatopoeias are words that imitate the sound you hear with the object they refer to. Onomatopeias can help us to write fun poems like this one:

"It went zip when it moved and bop when it stopped,

And whirr when it stood still.

I never knew just what it was and I guess I never will."

(Tom Paxton, "The Marvelous Toy")

And a video here:

Remembrance of the fallen

"In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below."
(In Flanders Fields, John McCrae)

This Sunday is Remembrance Day, it is a day in which British people remember all those who were killed in war, specially during World War II (they thought that they had finished with war after it, they were wrong, obviously).

This day is also called Poppy Day because it has become a tradition to wear an artificial poppy as those which grow in the fields of Belgium, where so many British died during World War I.
