The Shot by Bill Schott
Sedoka Poem writing prompt entry

 
Sam pulled the trigger;
 
his friend could not even scream --
 
a bullet pierced his windpipe.
 
 
Dave called the police;
 
his friend Sam had shot himself --
 
he'd blown his throat wide open.
 
 


Writing Prompt
For this challenge you will write a sedoka.
This is a Japanese form that consists of two unrhymed poems that MAY show the same scene from two different perspectives or angles.
Each one has a syllable count of 5/5/7

Here's an example:

The cat's meowing
Pleads her case convincingly
Hunger gleams in golden eyes

Missus Smith's tutting
Suggests the cat's been eating
Far too much for her own good
