Husband buys last row. Cheapskate.

He crowd surfs to the bottom and is deposited in the arena, in the midst of lions.*

*apologies, my brain is a cartoon.

He meets his end, grave,

In the arena's fierce dance,

She finds strength, and thrives.

COLOSSEUM in five acts

I Ancient Rome's heart

Gladiators' battleground

Colosseum stands

II Crowds fill the stadium

Modern-day colosseum

Sports spectacle reigns

III Political arena

Verbal colosseum fights

Ideologies clash

IV Mind's colosseum

Thoughts battle for dominance

Inner conflicts rage

V Nature's grand stage

Towering forest giants

Colosseum of life

Lions open their maw

Roars echo as the condemned flee

One swat brings one down

My mind is empty

A vast wordless arena

Of endless echoes
