Gratuitously Graphic Gore

 

Heads fly!

disfigured fowl flutter about

with patchwork mask we

run the show most morbid

threaten the theater owner

with a death witnessed by

his next of kin if he lowers

the curtain on our act that

will be the last show he

cancels

 

Crescendo  of screams!

viewers should not act like

they didn't know what to expect

as the puke that they spew

is served  back to them as

the gravy for gut spaghetti

real fun for the entire family

so don't act like you don't

like it surly you will get

your moneys worth of YUCK!

in a creepy kind of way

it's excitement !

 

Scarred Flesh!

ripped open to expose rot

every body keeps their

eyes open of course

they all read the ticket

watch the show or else your

next of kin will be in

the sequel to follow

will be a scary family film

as long as there are

acts of gratuitous

visceral entertainment

we will have audience

to torture mayham

and gore

 

  (keep your ticket it is a matinee!)

B-Rate slaughters

Bad actoresses borrowed from porn companies ran as a side business Bad acting no plot to speak of sticky floor with a girl next to you to spook at the hand on the shoulder goes to an arm around the waist to "protet her" yea you can find me among that addience but the can packaged block buster crap no not me I'll stick with the reel film the producers that come up to the fans B-rate masters of "creepy" Glad you liked the Morbidity of this twisted piece of meat poetry.

Only you could successfully

Only you could successfully marry butchery with theatricality and make it work. Great staccato rhythmic drive to this. [Applause, applause] Mike Photo: Me in my thirties - face furniture, version 2. All that hair! For graphic art please visit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7911705@N07

You are a cunning bastard!

You manage to make social/cultural commentary entertaining. Question: How come your poems are so lucid, well constructed and talented while your comments often sound like you are in the midst of speed psychosis? cheers, Jess

when I write poems I am more lucid?

Then when I comment.Interesting I would like to talk more about this in message. It could have something to do with the limited time on computers and I want to read as much as I can and still leave comments but what I think I have to be brief and I skip alot and the pressure to spell and I am not that good a typing to begin.but when I write poems I have an idea and sometimes notes that flow different. So I would like a few examples of this if you would like to help. In ink, Dabbler
