Day 56

Today's submission requires a little explanation.

Step 1: Find some inspiration. I checked out the Dictionary app on my phone. It has a "word of day" feature that has often provided some very interesting words. It did not disappoint. That word is the title of this poem.

Step 2: Find a format. I went with a "cinquain".  
According to http://www.writing.com, the definition of a cinquain is:
There are two types of cinquain. The first is a short format with 22 syllables. There are five lines with the syllables arranged like this: 2-4-6-8-2. The second type comes in two styles, unrhymed but themed.
Line 1: one word
Line 2: two words describing the title
Line 3: three words (an action)
Line 4: four words (a feeling) 

Line 5: one word referring to the first line 
 
Without further ado....


Sciamachy

Battle
Vicious fight to death
Struggling hard to survive
Disillusioned by the losses
Raging.
