Ten Little Soldiers (And Then There Were None)
This poem taught me the importance of friends as well as the truth of life. By Agatha Christie Ten little Soldier Boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine. Nine little Soldier Boys sat up very late; One overslept himself and then there were eight. Eight little Soldier Boys travelling in Devon; One said he'd stay there and then there were seven. Seven little Soldier Boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in halves and then there were six. Six little Soldier Boys playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were five. Five little Soldier Boys going in for law; One got in Chancery and then there were four. Four little Soldier Boys going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one and then there were three. Three little Soldier Boys walking in the zoo; A big bear hugged one and then there were two. Two little Soldier Boys sitting in the sun; One got frizzled up and then there was one. One little Soldier Boy left all alone; He went out and hanged himself and then there were none.

I was reading some of The Witch of Atlus by Percy Shelley earlier (a perfectly normal thing to do on a gloomy rainy Saturday morning) It makes me incredibly sad to get short hand "wyd hmu" texts already, but; especially after reading beautiful rich descriptive language for a few minutes and...

An attempt
It's been awhile since I've written and shared my writing. I've always been afraid of seeming overly pretentious or lacking the vocabulary to express my thoughts precisely, but, I don't want to care anymore lol. Here's an attempt.
