Poems about Food
#food
Eating, indulging and cooking, poems about food deal with our complicated relationship with food. Poems about having too much food, or not having enough. Everything from sensual poetry which uses food as metaphors, to poems about diets and controlling food temptation.
Busted in the Morning
Good Morning,
You did one thing wrong, you woke up
If I haven't told you before
I'm sick & tired of this rut
As my stomach turns
Acid reflux burns
I know exactly what I must do
I know how you feel,
when you eat a meal
Go look in the mirror
Can't look at you,
you're busted every morning
My headache is now gone,
relieved we have no spawn
Use to be a naughty ass slut,
now all you want are glazed doughnuts
Doesn't matter how much you think
or the number of hairs in...

The Masquerade Ball
the world is a stage and
the Devil is the hardest working {man}
in show business
he'll have you out here throbbing 3rd dimensionally
his cabal will seduce you...slow siphon you
make you feel like you're winning
when you're actually losing...
sinning...smoking....boozing...snorting
consorting with oily spirits
greasing genitalia...opening secret portals
whistling past familiar graveyards
famously fetishized
strutting along blood red carpets
in a green mile style
as fiendish smiles...

Clout's True Pull
I, I am nothing but a thing
Can you tell me how to get something out of nothing
Cause here I stand nothing but a thing
Created of nothing, existing for nothing
I oozed from the womb
Psych darkened and bent, force into my tomb
The world didn't want me so I demanded more room
Prenatal care ensured my mind set and doom
He needs this formula, cereal, and vaccinated shot
Collect his DNA before leaving the hospital and chip the bloodclaat
To ensure he's docile there's atrazine for food in the pot
Field run off into ponds and...

chicken dinner *
here
it is,
again
too close
to midnight,
i'm awake
and eating
cold potato
slices
that came
with my
chicken dinner
from earlier
in the day
maybe
i should
be
in bed
and dreaming
of more
luxurious
feasts,
but i
was raised
on
fried chicken
and potatoes.

Hungry Dopes
A pizza delivery man was beaten to death a few towns over where I live 3 years ago. Three teenage geniuses who decided this was the way to get some free food. They took all of the delivery man's pizza, but left the $500 that was in the man's pocket!

My Cat Every Time I Eat Anything
You had food
But you didn't share,
Because you weren't in the mood,
How fuckin' dare!

and rachael for her children cry
Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end

the fiercely barking hand grenades
and other weapons wars have made
are never idle in the hands
of those who set out to invade
the sanctity of sovereign lands.

A Beautiful Story For Ugly Children
One day a dog bit the index finger of his master
the dog ran off with a bloody finger,
before the master could catch him
the dog came to a river and went onto a wooden dock
the dog looked down into the water
he saw another dog with a bloody finger and a shadow of a man behind him
the dog had no idea what he was seeing
The master grabbed the dog by the collar,
wrestled with the dog for several minutes
the dog dropped the finger out of his mouth
the master picked up his mangled, chewed up index finger,
and went back home ...

Eat the Bagel
It was a fulfilling
and tiring morning
I had just left
the local gym
This poem is almost
pointless to read
But stick around and
maybe you'll understand
So I fell fast asleep
and visions arrived
A man in robes
looking so serious
"Please get up now,"
He says calmly
And looking up quickly
I see something
In his left hand
A single bagel
"Go eat one now,"
he says plainly
"Okay," I mumble quietly ...
