Thanks, Jen. I usually don't get involved with the short stuff, but I was having a hard time getting that storm off my mind.
Comment from Terry Broxson
A very good entry on a timely subject for this contest, good luck. In only a few words you were able to capture the essence of the situation in Mayfield. Interestingly, they just found a cat that survived for nine days in the rubble.

Simply in honor of the people whose lives were left in shambles during the recent events throughout tornado alley, and because you delivered a well-executed 5-7-5. Thank you for sharing your talent and good luck in the voting booth.

Thanks for the review. My heart went out to the families of the victims.
Comment from Janice Canerdy
You have made effective use of your seventeen syllables in this timely piece about the horrendous destruction of that small town. "Perfect strike"
is a chillingly apt metaphor.

Thanks, Janice. I couldn't believe some of the pictures they had on TV.

Excellent poem. Your syllables are correct and your message is very clear. No more words are needed to tell the horrifying story. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Sherry Asbury
Your 5-7-5- is spot on and very cleverly written. Your picture puts the trembles into one's heart...something very primal and fear-inducing. Tornado Alley - just the words paint pictures for those who may not have seen such a thing. You have a very good entry here - best of luck.

You say all that needs to be said--this image nothing left standing epitomizes the devastation of this tornado. Compelling and powerful piece. Fine work.

This is an excellent poem about a tragic event and its aftermath. We seldom get tornadoes in Minnesota, but I can imagine it would be scary. Best of luck in the contest. :)

Hello, anonymous,
Nice entry for the 5-7-5 Poem writing prompt contest. Good syllables count. The lines don't connect grammatically. It would flow better if they did.
I love the play on words! Well done.
