In the New World

In the new world, they'd been searching for signs of intelligent life when a huge jar slammed down on them! Trapped like insects, they saw peering down at them. . . giants wearing faces much like their own. Written by Andrea Dietrich June 9, 2012 For nette onclaude's IMAGINATION Poetry Contest

Congrats here Andrea. I was thinking giant jar also...haha. I really wanted to enter this one but time slipped away from me. I'm afraid from late summer to early winter I won't be able to enter many at all. I'll be too busy with work...boooooooo! But I'll do as many as I can.

I look for intelligent life too and basically find it here on Soup! Perhaps governments should visit us Andrea, don't know if I'd like their faces peering down at me though! Luv, Lizzie
