You have written a deeply moving and thought-provoking 5-7-5. It meets all the requirements of the contest and leads the reader to see the crash and the loss felt by the writer. Great job.

It was powerful. And tragic. Many drunk driver accidents unfortunately end in fatalities and it is always horrifying.

It was very colorful, but your bluish text font was jarring to my eyes. I think, a darker font color would bring up the presentation and more votes. Also, the text size was a bit large, perhaps you would consider bringing it down a couple of notches? Just a suggestion.

I wish you a lot of luck in the contest.

The first two lines flow and connect well. The last line is so very sad
and says it all! There is a strong message in this poem for all adults! Thank you for the author's notes - they speak volumes! The artwork
is a good example of a tragic accident and as the author's title makes
clear - No Accident! This is an excellent poem - thank you!

Excellent entry for the 5-7-5 Poem writing prompt contest.

I like the presentation is really hard to read. You can fix it easy. Don't use BOLE font. Use a light font color.

Concrete images of the easy to visualize. It's very sad and tragic.

Good syllables count and connection between lines.

Good luck in the contest.

Yes, it's irresponsible and selfish, uncaring towards others, and shows that the person has no idea of the value of life. Your words are poignant and meaningful. Best wishes for the contest.

This 5-7-5, No Accident, has the proper formatting and rightly accuses those who would drink and drive as people who have weaponized their vehicles................................................

Ciao ,

Yes there is an on going tragedy in my country too.

Every weekend we register deaths due to alcohol, teens and young adults coming home from night clubs or discotheques intoxicated.

Young lives lost and families , left to mourn, destroyed.

PS: the blue metallic print you chose is really harsh on the eye .. I had trouble reading it.

The death of a child as the result of drink driving is particularly heinous, the crime can be avoided, but it's so common on the roads, along with other misdemeanours, this is beautifully written my friend, blessings Roy

This would be particularly good as a poster to warn of these dangers. Without any wasted words, this haiku speaks directly and therefore powerfully of this unforgivable crime. Thanks for sharing and good luck! Debbie
