A graphic sedoka, and you shown it from two different aspects. Sam, the one who pulled the trigger, and Dave, who found his friend and would have to live with Sam's decision .
Well written and good luck in the contest.
Cheers

Hi. Your poem did not match the prompt. But, so now you guys entering the contest, knows that it is not as the prompt states it is 577 rather than 575 How you guys knew that I'll never know. I think sally set up the contest. Maybe I'll send her a private message

This is a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that!

Sounds like a traumatic experience. I hope it's not autobiographical. That would be a terrible thing to witness. I think you could've said something about the blood and the scene after he shot himself I know you did, but it wasn't as impactful as I thought.

But you did a good job
Thank you for sharing.

    If I were writing a story with lots of room to draw out the scene, I would have likely littered the available area with gore and pieces of flesh.

I enjoyed reading this, it is a strong entrant. I can almost envision it happening in my head so the profit going along with it was perfect too. Good luck with the contest and moving forward with your work.

Poetry is so complex. It has to be done out of love for writing or one would go crazy thinking of the rights words. I guess all writing is that way.

    This format consists of two views of the same scene.

I think you did a great job with this sedoka. Your second half really took me by surprise, as I'm sure you intended. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.
