CANNIBAL BEWARE

There you see me
On the ground
Lifeless, freshly dead
But making sure
Before you feast
You bash me on the head

Hovering over me
Sizing me up
Planning where to start
You say to yourself
I’ll eat your fingers one by one
And finish with your heart

But before you dine
There are things you should know
Before you dig right in
There are parts of me
You should not eat
Parts marinated in sin

To be continued....

A brilliant beginning...
An interesting marinade, sin...
One part ignorance, one part bliss, one part remorse.  Will stop back for the conclusion.

Suddenly, I'm not the least bit hungry.
A good write, Joe! You've found out how to put the world on a diet!

The last line made this poem laugh, is there a place on "Passions Poetry" for comic verse?

Can't wait to read more, will have to look out for your name.
