THE SOLDIER
Hello again everybody! This is my ninth contest here on AP. I am having a lot of fun holding these and hope to receive some great reads from you all!
Give me some great imagery and emotion here.
I want you to take a look at this picture and
tell me what you see. Tell me who this person is and where she is from. What is going on in her world and heart.
Take me for a ride into her mind. What are her reasons for going to war and what has she been through?
Take me there....!
Here are the dreaded rules:
*No swearing*
*No chat lingo or sticky caps*
*No religion bashing*
*Rhyme or free verse, any form, any style
*Please check your grammar and spelling before submitting your write.*
*Spell Check is your friend, use it!*
First Place will receive a glamorous gold trophy and 300 points.
Second Place will receive a stunning silver trophy and 200 points.
Third Place will receive a beautiful bronze trophy and 100 points.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL MY FRIENDS!
GET GOING!!!!------->
