Brilliant, beautiful write, as usual.

I loved this Cassie, it was an excellent piece for the contest with your limited words, and it really did create a lovely picture of hope with that little flower blooming!

Hello Cassie,

a super concept for a poetry challenge. Was there a theme as well as the number of words?

Anyway, you have painted a war zone, with the flying bullets and mortar. A horrific scene indeed! Just a thought, would substituting the word 'sing' for stings add more depth?

Good job,

Michael
