Gone Wrong

Man be crazy
gone
Tried to leave me
gone
Tried to walk out
gone 
Poor fool
gone
I shot him dead
gone
Kept that sucker's head
gone
He ain't leavin' now
he gone




The prompt is 33 words about love gone wrong.  Without using these words: love, sad, tears, wept, heart, or pain. Pretty much the lyrics of every country song ever.  I decided upon a blues vibe, which isn't always depressing.
love
sad
tears
wept
heart
pain

Diablo's Blues

The Damned

screaming

night and day

gets  tiresome.

Once it was
Viking feasts,
the
Great orgies of
Roman yore!

No more.

All those rollicking good times--finished.



(sigh)

There's just no sport corrupting Republicans.





The prompt is 33 words inspired by the Stones' Sympathy for the Devil.

X for the Ex

X on a tree

Marks where

I Murdered the Ex.

Rubbed him out good.

Tried to leave me, that

Cold-blooded

Cold-hearted

Bastard.

Smashed his head

With his favorite hammer.

Then I laughed.




Not really sure about this one...it's like a sauce that needs a little extra pinch of something...any suggestions?  I was aiming for a blues song.   

Apologies for the word 'bastard'.  I don't really consider it a curse word, but some people do, and that's okay. The word seemed to fit within the context of the piece and that's why it is in there.  





Your challenge this weekend is to give us 33 words about anything you want.  Your piece must include at least one hyphenated compound modifier.  Remember that the hyphen will join your two words together to create one, so you will have a bit more wiggle room with your word count and language.  You are free to use more than one hyphenated modifier in your post, but we ask that you be careful not to sacrifice readability in the process.
