In "The Red Poppy," the red poppy is a metaphor for the beauty of nature and the fleetingness of life. It symbolizes both the fragility and resilience of life, as well as the contrast between innocence and war. The poppy's vibrant red color serves as a vivid reminder of the bloodshed and sacrifice of war.

The Red Poppy was created in 1927.
Poppy red is a "known/recognized" red. It is neither scarlet, which is too bright, nor crimson, which is too dark. If I had to pick another known color close to poppy red, I would suggest vermilion, but some how I don't think that would work in a poem. The best compromise would be scarlet, but many people will find that inaccurate.

The central idea that the metaphors in this poem refer to is the passage of time. Each metaphor offers a unique perspective on how time can be perceived or experienced.
