Hi ~!
Umms..
The poem "Dulce Et Decorum Est" has some very powerful images.
I would probably choose the last two lines of the second stanza;

"Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning."

Its different because it has a dreamlike quality to it, and Owen uses the simile "green sea" to describe the gas that the person is "drowning" in.

well, firstly, i would make sure I know how to spell want, represent and writing.

After you get that sorted, you can pretty much pick any line. Almost every one of his poems is jam packed with imagery. If you like you can read my essay on his poems, it details much of the imagery, its available here, http://www.boredofstudies.org/download.php?id=9436
