ok I need a poem to read for a remembrance day service and I thought It'd be cool if i could use someones from AP, so I need a poem about war or remembrance or the way the people left at home feel. You can use the pic as a prompt its the tomb of the forgotten soldier in ottawa canada. (a memorial to all the soldiers who were so badly hurt they could not be identified.
there are some rules.
1. No swearing
2. not to much blood and stuff
3. no blame passing (saying stuff like its all one countrys fault isn't very nice)
4)Make it have feeling
5) do your best!!!!!! And write a great poem!
thanx everybody who enters because this really means a lot to me.
