*This is a poem based on the black plague that spread through Europe in the mid-14th century.   It started in Dorset and spread throughout the land. It touched the souls of old and young and in between The women and Children'll kiss the poppies and hold on to life. They really hope to survive. Death of hundreds, thousands,Bodies fill the streets and rivers and streams. Death... Minds and bodies and health collapse Death... It started in Dorset and spread throughout the land. They'll really hope to survive.
