Your use of alliteration is vivid. The literary technique of onomatopoeia will draw the reader in. This aproach creates a sensory experience on many levels. Well done.

Hello, anonymous,

A fine entry for the 2-4-4-12 writing prompt contest. Good syllable count and connection between lines. Nice presentation. Good luck in the contest.

Wow! A dramatic use of your syllable count!

I believe you have met the requirements of this contest: Write a poem that has the following syllable count. First line has two syllables, second and third line have four syllables, the final line has 12 syllables.

Good luck.

This 2-4-4-12, Instant Life Change, with an AABB rhyme scheme, finds that the automobile is the 'heavy equipment' one should not operate while distracted.

Oh, you describe a horrible scene. Very fitting artwork. I hope the woman survived. When I think of accident - they are the most horrible disaster ever - and many end in death or permanent disability. Call for more careful driving. It is a shame, though, that many who caused these accident were sending text messages.

Great message in this poem and excellent presentation; I wish you a lot of luck in the booths.

You did a good job with your personal experience you wrote into verse for this contest, Mystery Writer. Your syllable count is correct per line, the image is startling but appropriate, and your concluding line sums it all up well. I like the way you rhymed your poem.
Thanks for sharing. Best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

You have met the syllable count for the constant. The title matches the content. As well as the picture is well related to the poem. Good luck in the contest.

Interesting theme that's very visceral and gut wrenching. The bloody woman on the ground makes it more direct and much less interpretive. These 2-4-4-12 depictions are surprisingly spread apart in theme and can be powerful done right. Good job.
