100 Word Challenge for grown up at Julia’s place has the prompt
..the extreme weather meant..
I could only come up with a little poetry with a twist this week. At least I’m below the word limit of 104 word (97 words). Hope you like it. Image taken from here
as she was waking up in early morn
to thunder, blazing wind and falling snow
she cried in vain and was to pieces torn
the extreme weather meant her hardest blow
she thought of joy for newfound job she got
and how she promised to be there in time
she knew her future was no longer hot
and now again she had to turn the dime
how easily she could have done her job
her tools were packed and preparations done
but second chance you would not get with mob
and never she would use her loaded gun

Whoa! This does have a twist. Those last two lines force you to read it all another time. I like the cadence. It lulls you and helps intensify the twist at the end. Love your photo choice too.
The cadence is almost iambic pentameter. It’s actually almost a full sonnet. But I decided not to do it this time. 🙂
I also went back and reread this twice. Very gripping writing!
Feel sorry for an unemployed hit (wo)man is a strange feeling.
WOW that really was an unexpected twist at the end! Very clever.
🙂 a job to die for
I love the ending. Very good writing.
