Spike,

For someone who, at 5.25pm, didn't have a clue what to draw, the next 3 hours must have been busy!

Well done.

Roxy ;)

Inspiration and perspiration....well, the former at least :D

And -not being able to prise my kids off the computer-Runescape, I believe

And here; my girlfriend Kaisa has also caught my enthusiasm, she drew this last night. She hasn`t really drawn anything related to war and was drunk (!) while making this. Pretty nice I say. Men, Women or Angels Could Do No More...

If that was done while drunk how would it look when sober. I like it very much, very moving.

It may not have sounded like it reading my post but yes I realised that, pass on my compliments to Kaisa. :)

I think you'll have to provide the beer from now on, Lands. For us all :P

Beers all round for the drunken MGWAT entrants. Tell Kaisa that if she draws like that whilst on the beer....I'm jealous :D

The perfect picture to accompany the line-

"And Night shall fold him in soft wings."

Excellent

If I get time after the football match ( Carlisle United Vs Lincoln City...c'mon you Blues!), I'll do the poll tomorrow.(Match postponed due to cold snap-so tomorrow it is)

So late entries, you have until then ......

In the spirit of not letting anyone else come bottom..................

The whistles blew on that summer’s morn,

And the company in entirety from their lives detrained.

They rose; then they walked into ironmonger’s rain.

They continued until struck…. What more could they do?

I’ll tell you what more, there lying in pain,

Having received sharp bites from the ironmonger’s rain.

They’d band together, in No Man’s Land,

Until such time as they could charge again.

So gallantly they rose, and upon the Germans they’d fall,

If only not chosen as human incandescence all…..

Because Fritzy was waiting, British candles to light,

Yes, old man flamethrower will see them bright.

So what more could they do?

They could die screaming, aflame, while others can only watch

Their hearts that burned with bravery, just burn.

Instead of lying, only wounded, in No Man’s Land.

Thanks very much Jon, the poem is excellent and the sort of thing that the MGWAT should include, for those who may not wish to draw, but wish to contribute in other ways.
