Cannibal CatCannibal Cat
I do not like this cat I saw
Grey of belly, head and paw
He came into our neighborhood
I swear this cat’s up to no good
Sure he caught some mice, a snake
But then he made a big mistake
For there upon my porch I sat
I saw him...

The CannibalIn the night the wolves howl in the distance,
As the spring lambs bay, with the first stirrings of life,
Close lies the pack of humanity, those for whom hunger for the
Fresh taste of the blooding’s first strike, at the throats of innocence
Most pure!
Have they gone suddenly...

The Cannibal TerrorThis terror I now share with thee
Some cannibals had captured me
A dinner for clan
What worse could fate plan
We’re vegan a man said to me...

Cannibal Morticians--A Halloween PoemNobody looks closely
At corpses in a funeral.
You usually just see
Their faces and hands.
Who checks the bodies?
Of course it’s assumed
The bodies are all there.
They are rarely exhumed?
During the embalmings,
How much gets consumed?
Some parts are for science,
Or given as replacement organs.
Maybe out of defiance
To laws and mores,...

Cannibal Carnivore Carnivalnow there’s a tongue twister
which has sunk weighted by disbelief
to the bottom of memory
this is a rescue attempt for
eyes trapped behind closed lids
underlying rather than lying per se
not exactly free from connotation
using language to analyze language
playful chimps in God's green jungle
where one of them...

Through the Eyes of a CannibalI sit alone, accompanied by none other than the souls of the deceased
Bodies scattered..to and fro
Only to be stepped upon and left unnoticed
Vile death feels my head
I am sick...twisted
I Creep into your soul
Slowly..bloodthirsty
For I have, no guilt, soul, nor heart
Tis only death in...

Cannibal DelightThe full Moon beckoned me from my slumber
To come out into the night to play
A stroll in the dark asunder
A voyeur under the Moonlight ray
Dressed in black I embarked on my walk
Not anticipating anything new
When flames through the bushes I spied
A strange smell much...

Cannibal Lies
American Daughters of the Civil War Revolution
are so madly in love with their Bluish-Gray metal sons
Incestuous desires borne of slave tax oppression
Give to Caesar whatever tribute he crown heavy lay on you,
feed three-fifth portions to the hungry publican lions
Let the Den Mother Lying famine devour...

Darkness the CannibalA breakfast of sunrise,
clear blue sky luncheon,
and a supper of sunset
defeats darkness rising.
Shadows remain behind,
lying down buries their existence.
Total darkness is a cannibal
that feed on lighter shade shadows....

Coco the ClownCoco the clown went sailing one day
to a holiday destination far far away
Suddenly, the sky went dark and the wind did blow
and the waves beneath his boat did grow and grow
Coco lost his oars as the winds blew and blew
and he paddled his...

Where the Sea Meets the SkyAt the end of the world where the sea meets the sky,
there's a small strip of land where the mermaids lie.
Where they chit and they chat, or play and have fun,
and top up their tan in the midday sun.
Now it's rare to see a...

A Whiff of WomenGholam startled for a second, smelling the women;
his nose turned sharply to the east,
Glad he would be able to rapidly
pick up their scent after devouring his feast,
Madic had been an acquaintance of sort,
but his slimy slippery flesh was ripe for eating,...
