Can your colours for the year:) 
Swirl undulations in; concentric."
Vanilla shaded ridges coalesce...
Swells in the pail; then disappear.

               Im-pailed
A circle of steel they put it in."
Yet with a flat ended tool,

Premium Member Witnessed at a State Funeral
    Sparks of humanity 
       get a look-see
         occasionally

    Obama and Trump
       engaged in repartee

Pertness shaped enticing me
Bloused now aroused
Thumb and finger now linger
Their captivity beckons

Premium Member Witnessed a Robbery
Witnessed a robbery take place yesterday

As incredulous as this may seem

Was sitting in the food court at the local mall

Happily minding my own business

When all of a sudden I hear this guy ranting and raving

Slamming his leather bag down on one of the tables

Marching over...

Last Gasp of a Basilisk Witnessed By Five Italians
As Michael slay the dragon under God's command
Reni and Palumbo outstretched their hands
As that ancient serpent was finally cast away
Young Jacopo the dyer painted all the day
As the seraph vanquished the devil forever
Raphael began his draught board endeavor 
Finally the mighty spear had met its...

Premium Member What Earth Witnessed On Their Final Day
The Earth could only watch what happened to the humans their final day
How…whether or not they believed in a God…they all looked to the sky to pray

How humans in every language…from every corner of the world…
all beseeched the sky…all asking the same question…why…they wondered…why.

After hearing...

Premium Member Gasps of Witnessed Horrors
I'm shivering, naked, I'm amidst bodies on a cart
All I remember is looking up awaiting the water
Entangled I am seeing grimaced pinked faces
And a solumn looking sky very close to tears

Now discarded, left, sensing a sweet acrid smell
Knowing the await, soon the others and I
Time...

Premium Member Witnessed
Dots have been connecting lately
Picking up on a common theme
Everyone pursuing a similar goal
We are all just looking to be seen

Wrapped in a web of old wounds
Warping our view of present day
Ultimately want to be understood 
For who we are despite what others say...

I Witnessed It
Horrible smash of broken bottles,
Blood gush from young touts' bodies,
Nauseating odour of marijuana, grass, 
Spoiled that Monday evening.

I witnessed it,
A deadly fracas erupted,
Between two rival teenage cultists,
At Asarailu's son naming ceremony.

Asarailu cult group had launched,
A mayhem, killed, maimed, butchered,
And escaped during the last encounter,
But this...

I Witnessed a Drowning
As soon as he was gone she changed. 
As in never the same. As in 
she’d gone through a complete mental breakdown 
and I had front row seats to the worst show of my life.
Six bullets took my brother one night, 
and they took a...

I Witnessed a Miracle Today
I witnessed a miracle today
Though still weary, from my grandpa's passing
You helped light the way
It came, in the form, that brings so much joy
An 8lb, 6oz, precious little boy

I witnessed a miracle today
It helped me realize, that there's life, that lives past the grave
Though you're...

Witnessed
Alone I entered chaos, don’t shoot, a mother screamed.
All I knew as I responded, was a knife, and blood had streamed.
My senses they deceived me, as his words resembled truth.
As I clicked one cuff onto his wrist, he lunged in agile youth.
That blade, I won’t...

Christmas Witnessed
Bright blinking colors in glass
Hurt feelings still last
Oh how I dreaded Christmas
Dad’s religion held fast
Sat and watched my class

Premium Member I'Ve Witnessed Acts of Kindness-
~In kind two young boys watched
They spy on the corner;
As baulk and walked;
then escorted a wheelchair elder;

Across a busy traffic intersection;
With a smile store clerk to my surprise gave me aisle directions;
Such a sport full of kindness and support soft talk;
A mother in the park;...
