Coliseum Poems | Examples


Loneshore Coliseum

Team Lungs made there
In ring debut. Less impressive
to the Grapplers Union; the fans
seemed to love it. Borgo, Bounce,
Bootez, Shuffle, and Booty. Faced
G.U. who comprises of Big Giggy Sayso,
Fuss Strant,  Mazzo Mendini, and
Epoxy Curfew.
All action, the referee loses control
and called the match to halt. Senior
referee Dank Seagrin did outside ref
Work from request of the side ring officials
request. Quick exchanges and high-flying
Moves gave way to a wrestling clinic by
Mendini, who out wrested Sayso, and Bootez
Who are World class wrestlers. At 12:43 a
Whip into the ropes produced a claw into a
Clothesline manuver.  When Epoxy Curfew
Leaned to retrieve his proned opponent he
Was rolled to receive a nearfall. They tag off
Both men, at 14:14 Mendini strummed up Sayso
With a Who Words Boobytrap gaining victory by
Pinfall.

Premium Member Coliseum Warriors

Swords clang and sparks fly
In this merciless battle
      Death the only champion
As metal pierces skin
     Red liquid oozes from wound
Blood will soak the earth once more
      Bloodthirsty crowd cheers
Cries of agony echo
     Death will meet him in the dust

Rome (The Coliseum)

Gladiators fought-
In circular glory. Now-
All is deathly still.

Coliseum

I’m not a good daughter
I should be a martyr
put out for slaughter
becoming life’s fodder
The things that I 
oughta be a parta
aren’t gonna be one
of the things that’s under
my wing that I dare 
not bring to the table 
cause I’m unable to 
remain stable for long
periods of time the
things to define pushed
outta my mind into a 
big mess I’m under
duress, full of distress
I must confess I gotta get
better spelled out to the
letter be a go getter
under a spell heading to 
hell not feeling to well in 
this pel mel state that I’m
in filled up with sin unable to
win continually thrown from
one to another become such a
bother created a fable now I’m
unable to give it a label
other than life day after day, sinking
in stealing away my very heart
my very soul the dearest things
that I behold in my eyes are lost
to me not being seen
not being found I
am astounded by my
lethargy can’t get help from the clergy
even though this is an
emergency I can’t manage very well
my assets are shot to Hell
none of this going over well
back to the pit
ready to go out in
the lights
another lion to entice
