The sponsor of the contest told me that Soup just closed out his contest a day earlier than expected, and so I might as well show this. Not sure if it would have won or not, but I spent two hours researching this history and writing the poem. MIght as well post it!

Oh, Mighty is the Shield Oh, mighty is the shield used by the man Captain America. This great shield can slice even through resistance of hard wind and loss of it momentum can rescind because of its concentric shape, and so it is a weapon that the Cap can throw! By accident this starred shield came to be when its creator slept and did not see the binding catalyst that made it great. It was a substance none could duplicate! Absorbing energy, it just makes more and Cap can take a beating then from Thor! The Captain merely stands on it, and he is well protected by its energy. Kinetic is this energy, and Cap just stands on it, absorbing new impact! It flaunts a star and stripes red, white and blue. Not just a shield, it is a weapon too! Written in time for the contest, Aug. 4

Andrea, an interesting piece of writing and very sorry you could not enter the contest. I'm not an expert in poetic forms but I see 6 lines per stanza and plenty of rhyme. Well done. Both crafty and creative. Write on, Terry

It's metaphorical of a sort, cause image of guard we place in our defence take as much. Nicely done Andrea.
