Dinner

by Thomas   Sep 10, 2012


You lay there
all helpless and naked
Ready for the operation
that I'm planning for you
As I sharpen my knives
you give me this blank stare
As if life was drained from you
so long ago
Your spirit seems lost
into the abyss of darkness
Then the show commences,
I pull out my blades and mark my target
Very slowly do I put my blade in you
Shredding your skin and muscles
Your body opens up
like a tight jacket being unzipped
Everything you hold inside
comes bursting out like a volcano
Blood and guts spill all over
The stains on my cloth keep growing,
yet I frantically keep cutting and stabbing
The smell of blood is my power source
After the tablet massacre
I stuff and season you
Cram you in the small oven
Burn you like you were
residing in the depths of hell
Afterwards I sacrifice you
to the Gods of consumption

    I love the gore... it was like watching a horror movie... I was thinking that you was some sick serial killer with someone strapped to a table and was cackling with laughter as you cut them up. Then, I got to the ending talking about "stuff and season you" and was like ewww... this is graphic... and then I remembered the title was "Dinner" ... and it connected, hahaha. It's really creative and definitely captures the reader in!

    This poem as just ok for me. It was easy to understand and the wording was good. But, I just didn't really get into it. It was a good length and the slow was good.

    Gave it a 4/5

    "Afterwards I sacrifice you
    to the Gods of consumption"

    hmm well it is really......Dinner haha, I like how u made it look so dark like you were torturing someone as Rab said but it finally turns out to be just someone making dinner.
    I love the poem and the way you made looking Dinner seem so evil.

    Thomas?!

    What did you write? this is dark, well, this is dark. But really well described. I'm amazed. The title says Dinner so I was ready to read something about dinner and well, I did get that. And I like the fact that you posted this poem within the miscellaneous category because it is about dinner... haha well, it seems like my mind got twisted.. in a way. Because this poem doesn't specified if it's talking about a chicken or if a cannibal is the one who is narrating.. You see, the narrator in a story or poem doens't necessarily is the author. So when I read this poem, I thought that the narrator was a cannibal who was getting his dinner ready.

    Though, since I didn't see this poem within the dark category, I thought...hmm okay, it is about a chicken or meat or something.. it can't be about what I was thinking. hehe..

    regardless, the narrating worked well.

    Well done,

    Haha This is great. I love the imagery you've used. This poem seems a bit disturbing at first then once you realize it is actually about preparing dinner, you can't help but smile because it's a very cleaver and creative write.. I believe this is first poem of preparing dinner that I've read, good job, keep it up.
