Comment from Wendy G

Excellent

It's a clever way to use words all associated with the number ten, and your image is a well-chosen accompaniment. Best wishes for your entry in the contest.

Excellent

The time is close in some of those running races. To be beat by a tenth of a second is devastating, knowing how close you were to victory. At the same time one should be proud for having come so close.

Great alliteration and clever combination of it to tell a story! You also used tenth of a second in a ten word poem. It is just all around clever!
Thanks for sharing. Julie

The image looks like the Olympics have arrived. Many runners have been beaten because of an eighth of a second, as they run track. Every second counts on a sheet of paper.

This was clever and catchy... a good entry for the contest! I loved how basically all the words in the first line started with "d". A creative write. Good luck to you.

This ten-word poem, Decathlon Disaster, has the required word count and the stunning and durable wall which is created by fractions of speed time. .................................

This is very clever in several ways. Your play on words and brief story within only ten words is extraordinary. Excellent image too. Great!

Well done!
