Best Devouring(A) Poems

I'm walking out into the gorgeous summer day
and I feel nothing at all;
not the warmth of the sun,
the melodies of songbirds,
nor the cars driving by my street
who haven't the slightest clue of what just transpired
a mere twenty minutes ago.
Yeah, since the news came to me
not...

Starving 
wanting affection
eating fast food
devouring a strangers embrace
Hungry...

Walking across a prairie brown,
My eyes a glanced up high, 
Where creamy clouds, as white as shrouds, 
Were gently passing by. 
A buzzard all so hungry flew, 
Swiftly across the plain; 
Down below a mouse came out, 
to watch with cheeky disdain. 
Our  big...

Photography
	I used to have a dark room.
Trigonometry.
	No reference, the word causes anxiety though.
Anthropology
	I used to live for this subject, imagining myself in Egypt on a dig.
Art.
	I dabble, four hundred paintings later, I have no idea what I am doing.
English.
	Worst 7th grade teacher ever, but I...

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...

When it rains it pours
Bad luck soars
You're falling apart
Behind closing doors

When the lights go out
You're consumed with doubt
Your losing your voice
But dying to shout

The domino effect
Your life is a wreck
One wrong move
And you sprained your neck

A stroke of bad luck
You're a sitting duck
You try breaking...

I figured they were kings.
After all what's a king to do
At a party where the guests had 
Bad breath and rain splattered invitations.
By the way,
They looked like giants by the mantel.
Swirling a wine glass never
Held a tune quite like this.
I watched a drunk old man...

Exclamation marks rile up and excite Mrs. Ex.
She teaches seventh grade English and always suspects….
We are overdoing it when we use even on.
So I throw them in my paragraphs to have some fun.

She says they should be rare and exclusive to execute. 
Her ideas are...

i haven't forgotten
the sultriness of your lips 
the infamous toss of my hips 
the quiet haste the unfullfilled taste 
that calm way the sun beamed 
that warm way the breeze blew 
softly over our bronzed form 
connected two souls 
creating another one 
woven silver threads...

When devouring a hot chicken pie
An advertised flat caught my eye,
     I would hazard a guess
     Judging from its address
That the asking price wasn’t too high. 

I collapsed in a state of deep gloom
When the landlord denied...

Finally, first clues, sorry for the health related delays;
Part No.1- Original poser; "It might be related to a hungry person eagerly 
devouring a hero sandwich ravenously."
  Today's clue;  "One might say said sandwich has an inbred hostility towards any 
such would-be eater."

Part No.2-...

Upon a littered path I trod, alone,
A companion sought in my wanderings.
From afar, a peculiar man appeared,
In an abandoned caravan he resided.

Clad in tattered, sleeveless attire,
His laughter, unsettling, filled the air.
Devouring a rotten slice of cake,
He beckoned, "Hey, brother!" with lunatic flare.

Anxiety gripped my heart,...

While staring at a wall that never seemed to move
I drift into a state that makes me unable to move.
One second i'm in school learning about pie
And the next at the park devouring a sweet apple pie.
The sun in my face, the grass at my...
