War Cry

Jack Horne

He whoops a war cry,
New tomahawk in his hand,
Earns his Brave feathers.

For Michael’s Sounds of a Cry

How I would have loved to have been an Indigenous tribesman Jack. Good luck in Michael's contest with this fine shortie :)

What a cool and succinct way to do the contest, Jack! did you see the movie with Johnny Depp as the writer of the Peter Pan story? It was a great movie. Can't think of the guy's name right now. I believe it was the movie about Peter pan's author?
