Feast of the Cannibals?
Dark poem!
I just got tagged. In case you weren't aware, Oneg and James were running a series of challenges and the new one for today was the Tag You're It! Challenge. As the first to reply to Mackenzie's sad but stunning poem The Roommate
I was tagged in the FEAST community.
Here is the basic gist of the challenge:
Pick a Vocal community and tag/nominate another writer to write a poem or 100-word micro fic about it BUT you only have 15 minutes to write!
Oh, is that the time?
Can't be late for dinner
It's Friday, after all
To miss, I'd be a sinner
*
What's on the menu?
Heart, liver, and spleen?
How about eyeballs and tongue
Must lick the plate clean
*
As Father reminds us every night
The toiling and hard work he goes through
To put a tasty, nutritious plate of evil on the table
Without him, whatever would my family do?
*
The Mexican tasted spicy, the Italian flavoursome
The Indian blew the roof off my mouth
The Spanish was very fishy, and the French so refined
I hope I feel okay when this food goes south
*
Thanks for reading this madness!
