Short Colosseum Poems

lions den Christians
hiding your pretty fish tattoo 
colosseum meat
beats’ teeth and claws are huge
faith in another world allows you some peace
as they begin...

Colosseum is great place to fight.
Here is a sword, struggle with all your might.
I know I am tasty
But let’s not be hasty
Lions approaching from left and from right....

Colosseum bound

Celtic and captured, with pride

in witness I'm thralled to fight

no shield is required

being of Clan, delivers 

with taste, respect, I strike...

You chase the future,
With mechanical marvels,
And a call to arms.

Born and bred by war,
May the ultimate victor,
Rise from the ashes.

If you are worthy,
Enter the colosseum,
And determine fate....

Standing by the colosseum
Is the time of the last persecution
When the houses of Caesar
call out for revenge
Byzantine highways have lost their sheen
thwarted tall ships fall
and trumpets sound
relics of soldiers roam
you walk to your fate alone...

Stone rests upon stone;
They glow in the light
As if to atone
For ill-used power and might.

Column on column,
Tier upon tier;
They weep with the knowledge
Of what happened here.

The cries are now quiet
But they echo still;
They’re heard in the silent
Sighs from these hills....

Flavian Amphitheatre
the ultimate Roman colosseum
built by Vespasian
Dedicated in 80 ce

She seated fifty thousand spectators
calling for the blood of gladiators
possibly watching Christians get devoured by lions
bloodthirsty sports
Ancient Rome’s proof of lingering corruption and cruelty...

In Iceland there’s a Willy museum
It’s not huge like an old Colosseum
Filled with all types of willies
It would give me the sillies
But people pay lots of Kroner to see um!

Inspired by a comment Tom Cunnigham made on my Aurora Borealis poem
The museum has many exhibits of the genitals of animals!

The Colosseum is a Roman work
Capable of seating thousands or more
Used for gladiatorial contests, mock battles

Such action seen in its famous battles
Or re-enactment of a classic work
They have all people shouting loud for more

Fierce lions attacking Christians and more
Imagine such things in life and death battles
Fighting or staying together won't work

All shouting for greater work,more, battles...

Call on Archangel Michael or Archangel Raphael
If I did not do it, would I be heading toward hell?
I did not try, for did not think they cared about me.
Until I ended up in the colosseum with lions, three.
Help Archangel Michael! Help Raphael! Please save me.
They came in a unit, angels in a loving group of three.
Not to worry, they said. We are here to do what we can.
To show you the way to the promised land…....

I smoke a blunt
barricaded from the harsh sunlight
by a striped canopy.

You're taking a shower,
I daydream of full-length mirrors,
and soapy brown skin.

The post card in my hand
depicts the Roman Colosseum.
Gladiators are still hopelessly fighting time.

It's 1985
the world, as usual,
spins on like a tossed coin.

Make love while you can.
Find the lady in the shower,
wherever she is,

don't just sit there!

Worlds great monuments as they stand,
every civilization builds its own.
Pyramids and towers are built so grand,
from the Wall to the Colosseum of Rome.
What drives a mans great desire,
from glass, to steel, to brick.
To build a building, higher and higher
the race seems to get ever more quick.
Unsatisfied and alone,
a want to spend and splurge,
one thinks of madness, he searches to atone.
Cemented ivy, useless solvency,
time passes with recumbency ....

Eenie Weenie Finey Toe, which one of the Christians has to go?
The Romans were chanting loudly from the sixteenth row.
Lion eyes the captured with his beady yellow eyes that glow.
Eenie Weenie Finey Toe, he thinks as a growl starts way below.

Does not matter, he gets to eat them all – the small and tall.
There are plenty of them, and he has time to get them all.
The crowd begins chanting “stop waiting! Why the big stall?”
They are blood-thirsty all around the colosseum wall....
