Come to feast
On the evil

No corpse shall rot
We eat the flesh of Camelot...

A Mother of Many
Over cooked. 
No one eats it. 
It becomes a Mother.
A nurturing feast.
of Maggots. 
At least it has more heart than you....

Premium Member Dan's Favorite Birds - 5 of 10 - Green-winged Teal
The green-winged teal is both cute and fat And likes to seek food upon a mudflat. He is known to eat a stem or a seed. When he eats maggots, should I intercede?

Loneliness
It tears the meat off your bones 
And leaves your body exposed 
To the vultures of deep depression.
Their long ugly claws rip deep 
Into your very soul. 
And your hearts lies open 
To the maggots of despair....

Fishwife of the Undead
In a cavern for all the Undead,
they examine the hole in her head,
when she opens her thighs,
maggots drop from her eyes
(it's the smell of sardines that they dread...)  


written 23rd of May for Tania's Bawdy limerick contest...

I'm wired for sound like I'm from another planet Testing to make sure all's copacetic in my pumper gadget If it's clicking on all cylinders To determine if I'm still a sizzler But there's a possibility they'll just discover I've got maggots

Relax Honey the Worms Will Play
Relax Honey... The Worms Will Play!

Oh honey one day,
We will both part;
To rot in graves,
And waste away:
Playing with worms,
And dancing with maggots,
As they climb all around.
Relax love all is well!
Soon we'll be down bellow,
Cavorting with the others, under the ground....

In the Belly of the Slave Ships
the road to slavery shall die
this Profitable enterprise
so full of lies
someone's property or human chattel
chained in the belly of the slave ships,
side-by-side
chained by feet and chained by hands
where
the rights of men denied
Lord, we curse the vipers, 
the maggots and the Flies...

To the Bone
Like maggots on a piece of ham,
  the critics do their work

Devouring just because they can,
  to maim, destroy, and hurt

They eat through flesh right to the bone
  never missing one last scrap

Not even a scribbled, half-done poem
  —have they ever given back

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2015)...

Premium Member A Haiku Rambling of Fate
Dying to be free,
A fish leaped out of its bowl
And became lifeless:-

Cocooned black worms hang;
Strange metamorphic justice–
Butterflies soar free…

Decay demanded eggs…
Chalk-colored maggots complied–
Hued flies flew away:-

Caged birds sing the blues
After watching a free fish
Flying from its bowl:-...

June On the West Coast
Now that its June,
we'll sleep in the garden
soak into the dirt,
down into the underground,
to sleep with the dead
our bodies filled with maggots
decomposing
under the sullen sun
pushing daises
its a new morning,
soil in your mouth
dirt in my lungs
should we awaken?
now that its June,
June on the west coast....

Two Distinctive Days
A time 
To be born 
and a time to die,
when my life is ended
Could maggots, respect my honor,
wealth,education,
and skills?
Would my power and majesty,
my love and hate last forever?
 Should I live like there`s no
withering like a flower?
Why can`t I hope and pray
that I will rise above the grave?

Halloween
Write a scary poem about Halloween?
Weirdest ode you've ever seen!
What is seen at Halloween?
Blood sucking Salem zombies,
TV addict Abercrombies,
Spiders and maggots in their hair,
 Crypts in the garbage tip over there,
Witches floating round my room,
Fit right in, as they zooooooom......
Hey, my other car is a broom!!!!!...

War Cheers
The birds were feasting
on mutilated remains,
maggots oozed,
from the ruptured veins,
as bodies piled high
of casualties with no names,
ripped flesh,
rancid smell,
guts mesh,
and visions right from hell,
the markings of fear,
written everywhere,
and songs about bombs
bursting in air,
as death hears,
all the war cheers....

Streets of Battles
Asking if we will ever see our parents again.
This alleys are getting colder.
For these bones are growing older.
With the maggots that lie on my shoulder.
I will never accomplish my plans.
Instead I will just kick this old brown can.
For these baby blue skies are turning devilish black.
These nails are clawing my back,
And make me bl**d...

Blow the Blowflies
Why did God make blowflies? 
To try our patience 
There is no doubt. 
They'll land on juicy steak 
When you leave it out 

Very soon you will find 
Little maggots wriggling on fresh meat 
The blowfly has laid her babies 
Now isn't that so sweet? 

That's what God intended 
All his creatures do 
Go forth and multiply 
That is his golden rule...

Bless the Lucky
Some people are meant to be happy
I am not one of the lucky
For I slip through life not unloved,
But unsought
A sponge wrung out by the sun
Yet the greatest tragedy of all
Is not the absence of belonging
Though that I still breath
And roam through moments
Instead of sleeping in the cold ground
Shielded by maggots and worms
Held by the dirt forever...

Why
The Asian Tiger walks deaths bed, a tenuous thread, 
Shaming us standing ones with maggots in our heads.
The African Rhino and Elephant walk their likewise fate, 
Valued by us as horny dust, adornments for human plates.
It will always forever amaze me, when too late we always say, 
What we regret most in this life... is the treasure we abused on the way....
