Cannibalism Poems - Poems about Cannibalism


The Dinner
Tis' a calamity A dinner, to which I must oblige For it was a request of my family To whom I cannot deny Mother welcomed me in warmly Her expression rather wry Father is late and will be back shortly And to her I cannot defy Take a seat, back arched upright The aroma of Mother's cooking is brimming with life Mother vigorously encourages me...

home-made meal
You can eat me alive from the inside out: rip my skin away and chop my bones. I'll let you choke down my flesh and slit my tummy. Just hang me upside down and let my blood drain. Maybe you'd make dinner, put my little body in a pot and serve it to them steaming: in those china plates from TV. but mummy: I'd make...

Meat is pleasing
My head was in a daze, I'd been down here for days. All in the name of love, you'd scream, so I let it happen to me. My skin is like fondant, you'd peel it back. I winced and whined, But didn't fight back. Your fingers scrape against my skin, trying to find a way...

Humpty Gets Bumped
envelope rhyme Humpty Dumpty, brave fall guy attended the King's Christmas ball. He never guessed his downfall, empty headed, brain gone awry. Humpty Dumpty's sneaky try, bucking the Queen's serving line, “Expelled! out back, you shall dine!” close by yon royal pig sty. Humpty Dump, give us a clue, "Why did you behave so rudely?" Your etiquette, so crudely like a simple, naïve ingenue. Humpty Dumpty then...

Forward... for those of you rather younger than I, Soylent Green was a movie in which overpopulation was reduced by making people into biscuits... yes really! SOYLENT RED It’s dark and it’s drizzling The burgers are sizzling We’re toasting the baps in the grill No creature was injured For Ted couldn’t be cured The virus had made him too ill And...

Cannibalism - Re-Edited
Raped and left for dead Tears still running down her eyeless head Screaming her heart out, Which's been removed and stacked into my mouth I can still see your skin peel Orgasming on the fact your wounds won’t heal I only need my grinding teeth to make you paste Shut the hell up and let me eat you in haste...

Cold Beers and Voyeuristic Cannibalism
I’d like to pretend that my hands aren’t dirty from the soap of mental suppression, that the callouses are from hard work, and not from picking my bones back up off the floor on a daily basis; ragged, dry, and weary. Every fairy tale has a root, stapled into the hard soil of truth. They all have a moral, some sort of...

Autumn Cannibalism (1936)
Heads propped aloft by the crutch of dogmatic belief, savoring each other, feasting upon flesh--      knife and fork,      delicate spoon. Each course far from complete, they gorge through eroded faces, evidence of features strewn to rot in the      panic of the fading sun. Hugging like chums until folded into one writhing mass, they remain dexterous enough to balance an apple:      proof of perilous symmetry. In...

Zen and the Art of Cannibalism (Or, Serial Killer Senryu)
Unseen hungry ghost Predator in human skin Lurks among the herd Some folks drool for lamb Others beef, but I prefer The *other* red meat Arcing silver edge Slices a dark horizon Full moon or my knife? God's hand carves the earth Canyon river running red Metaphor in flesh. Blood on my good shirt: I just had this damn thing cleaned! People are so rude. Sleek steel crimson-graced Open window into...
