stands alone

their opponent 
to arrive so 
that the emotional

Took strict lessons in elocution
Saw himself on podium
Safe from opprobrium
Ai ! Missed lessons in execution !

The Moon stands on its podium
The mother ship looms

To get inspired,
That's when it happens
That my poetry sucks atoms
From the atmosphere
From my feeling ionosphere

Every time he gets up
To the next podium
To pause for silenteum....

Once an intrepid Olympian
Craved for anthem gold on the podium
Games after games came fourth
So sawed his arm in wrath:
Won at Paralympics gold and odium!

raindrops
gently fall

Performers take positions, hearts racing wildly,
Ready to step onto the waiting podium for the final bow...

The llama perched on the podium
speaks volumes to me.

The huge mouth searched my coat pocket —
I snickered as he snatched my snack.

A model citizen,
its quiet hum connects me to the past.
