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.

Modern Genesis
I often concentrate with great detail,
Stupefied, questioning ‘how’ late at night,
Four elements, evolution and light, Can push our nature like wind in a sail,
Portions that redundancy cannot stale,
As though whole planets full of creatures might,
Be hidden in an egg, compressed as tight,
As the atoms are within hardened shale…
There must be a god that creates with lust,
This unknown collage of colors and strife,
As I look up in search of angle dust,
I stand amazed at his mixture so rife,
As his only tool’s his breath to adjust,
This wind, water, fire and earth… with life.
