Best Cannibalism Poems


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...

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...

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...

Cannibalism
Raped and left for dead
Tears still running down her eyeless head
Screaming her heart out
Which has been removed and stacked into my mouth
I only need my grinding teeth to make you paste
Shut the hell up and let me eat you in haste...

Leapers in hot tub

Floats fingers and toes

What’s for supper- Stew!...

To gain salvation
Eat your neighbor

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...

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...

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!

The burgers are sizzling 
We’re toasting the baps in the grill
No creature was injured

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...

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...

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...
