The theme was "Seeing Red".
I wanted to do a war-themed poem for this because there is so many ways the color and feeling of the color can relate. There is so much blood splashed all over and so much anger and hate.

Red is really the color of tragedy, isn't it.

I like this a lot, it's really unusual. It's very prose like to read but at the same time flows like a poem. I like the use of typography, it makes it pleasant to read. You present the war concept really well, you can imagine being under fire with those two men. All in all very good and I think you may well win the literature section.

Thank you very much!
With the typography, I was attempting to use different fonts as well, but I couldnt get them to work on here. But I think it still worked out alright without them.
Thanks again! :D
