Hello Bill, this is a perfectly
written cinquain. The subject
matter is a bullet to the heart
for sure. Last time I used a
gun was in boot camp. I'm
quite afraid of guns. You
used great imagery. All the
best to you. Blessings ~

What a great Cinquain! Witty and well presented. A great choice of artwork.

I like your imagery, visuals and artistic presentation here. Best of luck in the contest.

This was an interesting choice of topic for a cinquain. Not that there is anything wrong with the choice. (The word "silhouette" is spelled wrong.)
As a former FBI agent, I have shot more holes in those things than I could ever count. We had firearms training four times a year. One day I was shooting with my father-in-law. He shot his target, and I shot mine. we pulled them in to compare. He said, "I did better than you!" (I had shot my rounds in the tiny silhouette in the upper left-hand corner of the target. I said, "Oh! Do you shoot the big one? Oh, okay. Let's do it again." He never shot with me again.

Your poem has a literal meaning and a figurative one. Not only does a bullet leave a hole in the body, it leaves a hole in many hearts. To me this poem speaks to me. Good luck in the contest.

With a perfect shot like this, one can only hope the shooter is at a gun range! Wow, this is so well done I can almost hear the gun going off, and feel the kickback in my fist. Good luck in the contest!

This could be taken as a confession of the murder of an unsuspecting victim. Great poem if so, and this is what I will it to be rather prosaic description. Good luck in the contest. Kate xx

This is a good cinquain contest entry. The text is great. The message is clearly stated. The speaker acknowledges the goal of being at a firing range-hitting the target center mass. The visual fits perfectly. Good luck in the contest.

You hit this Cinquain dead center, author. :) I assume you are a hunter or at least believe in the second amendment. I'm a fisherman cause I love to fish. Though I also love to site my rifle on a sillouette. Thank you for sharing.

I don't really like the theme, but your poem is very well written, meeting the contest's syllables requirements. Your image is appropriate - and chilling. Sending best wishes for your entry.
