They fought tooth and nail
To the amazement of the onlookers
With swollen hills on faces pale;
For brawls are part of night-crawlers

Onlookers stamp and shriek for blood
Wanting gruesome
Hoping for death
Gladiators face off
Not wanting to disappoint thrill seekers

A beautiful face but
Dancing is not good
and it stuns onlookers
She gains confidence
Arrests the audience
But nothing surprises

they laid in rows
blind onlookers eyes
trampled to death

The heat lightning sky
Intensifies all the ghosts
That are on the ground
Perfect scare for onlookers
A frightening ghostly sight

Only wise when awake
Outgoing like the wind
Opposed to nothing small
Ousts mice very quickly
Ornery predators
Outstanding birds indeed
Onlookers are enthralled

Each summer I sunbathe quite nude
Onlookers gasp, they think it’s rude
Cos I'll open my thighs
To deter pesky flies
I'm thankful my spouse is no prude!

Limerick
Funny bug dances
tapping his toes to the tunes
snapping his fingers
while onlookers laugh at him
then decide to boogie too.

Cosmic dancer unfurls her ardent truths
swirling her empathetic scarves of hope
infusing onlookers with glimpses of future joys
optimism and hope surrounding their nation
Cosmic dancer of India

exercise a must, early
workout in the dust
stretches, push-ups
pelvic thrusts
onlookers think this a joke
is this dunderhead really allowed to vote

Light Verse
Glowing light delights
Onlookers from far below
Twinkling sparkling star
Born above to invite all
Observers to see new "Baby"
Inspired by Linda-Marie's contest
Not an entry....

Petrified zombies march
past displays of potato starch
Onlookers stop to gape
at what’s depicted on their capes
The clue connecting all this
floats upside down in the abyss

My thoughts crawl
from the gray sky
and sigh through the debris of time
in not so steady form--
Like the muted shadow
in the middle of the road, like the gaze
of onlookers, who wondered
why I heard not the incoming death

As I was walking in the snow
I was accosted by a crow
It did not like my face
I ran and it gave chase
Amused onlookers watched the show.

Words spoken quietly
we sometimes hide by palms
when we get close to ears
whistling between the lips
with secretive intent
while onlookers remark
wow like that is so rude!

Hidden Face Man of Des Moines was carrying his steed to Derby Town.
It’s the oddest sight, agreed a jokester, a monkey, a duck and a clown.
Onlookers wanted to take a peek, for it is not a matter of course
When you see a man in a turban carrying a brown upside down horse.

Cut it- clean
Swath on down under the muscle
Slide along the bone
Withdraw
Now enter lightly, gently, deeply
Hilt rested upon the surface
Step back
(don't lose your grip)
Bow to your partner
Turn
and
salute any onlookers
Sheath the pen and walk away

tattered
and torn
these old jeans
like a frayed soul
beyond repair
still catch eyes
of onlookers
as i walk by
patches
hide the threads
and worn out seams
from view
dirtied
then washed
with tears
yet stains
remain
some things
can”t be cleaned
nor replaced

A switch when placed upon her head;
some tried to take that crown and bled;
Forgot that she was not spoon fed;
Her fate long ago decided;
Confident, a well run machine;
Strength leaves her standing serene,
onlookers may call this obscene;
Hail the future queen, hail the future queen.

On her front and back pair of wings are found many a natural tattoo
like inkblots, they form perfect mirror images, that you love to view
Her lifting of wings in a figure-eight pattern, our spirits it does renew
Trying to please the onlookers, she forgets the pains she goes through

My Functional Movement Disorder
Turned me into a performer.
My body becomes jerky,
And I move quirky.
My arms move spasmodic,
Onlookers may think I am neurotic.
But I am not foolish or silly,
This disorder will not kill me.
So if you see my jerks,
Know they are now my quirks.

Merman shark man is solid, handsome, and strong
he frightens some onlookers, but never me
appearing in the ocean, which is never wrong
I love seeing merman shark man lingering in the sea
surrounded by dolphins who give him a song
his face is chiseled, and his stoic expression delights me.

beautiful, garden, imagery, nature, red, valentines day, word play
The green velvet leaves
Bring onlookers to look down
Upon red rose hips!
Red petaled blossoms
Tip the leaf and thorny branches
With splendid allure!
Petals shout out calls
Their leaves are green and spread
On thick thorny branches!

within hollowed out form
divine magnetism rises
beheld by soul presence
in receptive wonderment
as the bliss lotuses bloom
petal by petal day by day
the energy grid goes live
enlivening each body cell
slowly transformed thus
we burn in this body urn
with onlookers oblivious
at this raging fire within
