Best Eaten Up(P) Poems

Eaten By The World

I tried to eat the world
but it caused me stomach pains
The bones of the lost 
are all that remains
It was flavored with deceit
with a coating of sweet honey
The rotisserie went round and round
it was powered by big money

I drank from the rivers

MOTH-EATEN PAGE- LOVE SONG OF J.ALFRED PRUFROCK
An Apology to T.S.Eliot



Tralalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
Let’s drink and be merry and dance on air
Friends and foes of Sindbad, in the dragon’s lair
When the Rock will sit on the rock Norfolk
We will find him under grumble stone -Mr. Prufrock

He was settling a...

On a mobile phone a distraught mother listens 
How her teenage daughter was being torn and eaten
Alive by a bear and its three children. In her own voice
She cried and said, “Mum, by a bear I am being eaten”

A nineteen year old Olga gave almost...

desiccated stars
sprinkled crumbs that surround
a half eaten coconut moon
I lick my lips

this ethereal delicacy
above me
calls me to indulge
in a visual feast
to sate my soul

if only you were here...
My love, if only
we'd lie here together
relishing every last bite
and when the last soul crumb was gone
we'd turn...

I ate at 'Millie's' Monday night.
Millie's hot but her food's a fright.
Tuesday 'Tuesday' cooked it right,
on Main across from the traffic light.

Wednesday's fair was fine at 'Flare',
with Piccadilly made right there.
The stuff at 'Mama's' was despair.
It made me want to say a prayer.

Friday and Saturday...

I have most likely eaten a farmer's field of wheat
I'm loaded with fibre right down to my feet
When I'm dead and gone
Plant me on the front lawn
You'll have wheat coming out of your ying yang, whatta treat!

I tried to eat the world
But it caused me stomach pains
The bones of the lost are all that remains
It was flavored with deceit
With a coating of honey
The rotisserie went round and round
It was powered by money

I drank from the rivers
As they began to flood
Fish no...

And this one is quite the same...
So the kinfolk has gone off...
Does it matter?
No.....


Just ease over to the next town....
Where's a cracker barrel 
Or sisters of the south
.....and feast away 
Thanksgiving day....

An epic feast...


The following day is the first day if the Christmas season...
Not black...

Born in the last decade of the old regime
Born a twain year before our unity to bear
All the flourishing devoid credos and pro-
phecies that foresaw our dark current futures
Possessed by omens and the Serpent’s seeds
Of rebellion bad tidings from anyplace
Were dropping and chances dwindle. In...

Read my poetry page by page
Lovely beige is the latest rage
Sat on seashore day after day
While dreaming my life away

on back rubbed suntan lotion
Wondering about commotion
while my body had been drying
saw come fish who were flying

When appeared a Canadian clown
In happiness himself he did drown
looked...

The pain deep inside
eating at my bones, so tight
I don't have much fight...

Saw lawn at new dawn; 
Pretty soon it was all gone; 
Eaten by a fawn. 

Ho Ho Horn...

The puma is so sleek and black
I have no doubt he’d break my back
And carry me off to feed his cubs
They would love my fat and chubs.

The puma would come in the night
And grab my neck and hold me tight
I would lose my life but...

I have eaten kings and bishops
washed them down with blackened waves

I have knelt among the vines of passion
found them twined with crawling thorns

I have held the rain inside my feet
walking slow with tender grace

I have embraced friends and strangers
knowing them as unacknowledged kin

I have spoken...

Aite and Dolos have whispered
instructions.Her words wish me to 
deceive him.

Then Aite said to Dolos.
He will gain nothing and his ruin
shall make Zeus smile.
Dolos are you worthy of trust? Dolos
don't ruin my plans. That even a God
can't trust you. Might you conspire to
have Aite's plan...
