Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
Abomination in the Middle East

Eyeless in Gaza

by Terry Reilly

Terrorist cowards 
 
perpetrate atrocities
 
shaming humanity.
 
 
Force majeure proudly
 
destroys hospitals, befouls
 
Rafah's "safe haven".



Sedoka Poem writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt
For this challenge you will write a sedoka.
This is a Japanese form that consists of two unrhymed poems that MAY show the same scene from two different perspectives or angles.
Each one has a syllable count of 5/5/7

Here's an example:

The cat's meowing
Pleads her case convincingly
Hunger gleams in golden eyes

Missus Smith's tutting
Suggests the cat's been eating
Far too much for her own good


I refuse to take sides in this hideous conflict. However righteous one may adjudge one*s cause, nothing justifies the barbarity being enacted right now in the Middle East.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
