Welcome, my dinner guest
I've been waiting for you
I am honored by your bravery
in coming here tonight
perhaps you thought I had forgiven you
for what you did to me
well, i have not, but soon I will
but first, a toast "to your health"
no, it's not poison you just drank
I don't want you dead...yet
just a little absinthe to numb your limbs
while I tie tourniquets around them
with no tongue, you cannot speak
so listen and I will tell you
just what you did that upset me
while I grill up your legs
they're not bad with a little barbecue sauce
tastes like roast pork
"long Pork" is what they call it in New Guinea
if you're good, I'll let you eat some
Oh dear, you've gone into shock
you died before our picnic was over
no matter. I'll save the leftovers in the freezer
I have a wood-chipper and two dogs for the bones.

Ok, that was really kinda twisted and definately creepy but it was awesome. I liked the imagery of this dinner scene you've set, lol I'm just not sure if I'd like an invitation to it. Best wishes to you that it does well in the contest.

Very interesting, it makes me think of a scene that Jack the Ripper may have caused. Well done with imagery, and the read is quite intense.

Chilling. I love it

Creepy, to say the least!! The monologue used is marvelously executed (no pun intended...hell, now that I think of it...yes...pun intended
)
Very well written. It's fine the way it is, but could also be elaborated on and be just as good.
Good luck in the contest

This is a little creepy. But I didn't feel like it was descriptive enough. You started off really good but then just ended it before I could really get the feel for it. Anyways, good write and thanks for entering!

creepy
Hah, creepy to the extreme. One part reminded me of a scene of Hannibal in which Hannibal Lector feeds Liotta a part of his own brain. I half expected a "hello Clarice". Great poem, really. It suits the contest well. -
Wow! I love this poem! A story that demands your attention with it's bold words. It's very impressive! Great job.
