    Homework help
    Hi, for homework I was giving a poem called poppies in July I've been asked to re write the poem in my own words

    Little poppies, little hell flames,
    Do you do no harm

    You flicker. I cannot touch you.
    I put my hands among the flames. Nothing burns.

    And it exhausts me to watch you
    Flickering like that, wrinkly and clear red, Like the skin of a mouth

    But colorless, Colorless

    I need to re write these lines can anybody help :) ?

    How about a picture or two to help you understand what the poem (by Sylvia Plath) is saying --

    Little poppies, little hell flames,
    Do you do no harm?

    You flicker. I cannot touch you.
    I put my hands among the flames. Nothing burns.
