Challenge
In my last challenge, it was to write a micro-poem ... this time, it's a little harder ... write a mini micro-poem, consisting of no more than 55 characters of which include all letters, numbers, symbols, punctuation, and spaces between words (The title and return/enter key does not count.)
This can be on any topic, but anything over 55 would be classed a a micro poem, not a mini micro-pem. Make sure you tag me so I can read what you have written and don't forget to tag me this way: @Danceinsilence, otherwise I may never see it.
(NOTE: Add at least some additional words underneath in parens as it will not accept anything under 15 words.)

Challenge of the Week LXXXVII
Descriptive Writing. One of the four foundational elements of the written word. You can write about anything you want, poetry or Prose; but make sure to focus on your descriptions. Whether you're describing a character, a setting, or an emotion, we want the imagery to leap out of the page. But tread lightly - there is such a thing as too much description. We're looking for that perfect balance. Imagery that sings, but doesn't scream.
The Suicide Bomber
What goes on
in that mind
When u strap on
those bombs
N calmly walk on
to that mosque or market stall
blow up
those souls?
What mind
Gathers these salts, solutions, switches & utensils
of annihilation
in the name of God
the same God that is salam?
What mind makes
these materials, devices & arsenals
that decimate, decapitate, mutilate & dismember
leaving
chunks of torn limbs, tissue & torso
broken heads, unsocketed eyes
ruptured stomach
spilled entines & blood a-flood
