Cook Out, Everybody! Scott W. Hazzard
The Gods got mad,
And the barbeque they had,
Serving up each soul upon a slab.
Apollo ate well
Just like Hades of Hell
While Hercules manned the greasy grill.
Man followed man
To the picnic plates again
And again they burned flesh for the truth.
Some felt bad enough.
Others felt right,
Thinking they would smoke up to the skies.
The meat of feasts
Frozen, packaged cuts in heaps
Lay beside the fire, labels on.
And the hero's cloth said,
"Hey! Kiss me. I'm the Chef"
And every man gave up in advance.

"Oh, shut up! What are you talking about? So what, the modern idea of the hero as either a firm, self-righteous belief that your life will get you into heaven or a venture into knowingly pathetic downfall into Hell complete with self-pity. You didn't say that, did you? No, you just wrote dumb stuff, instead. And so what if the wrong idea of heroics is the cause of all our needless mundane sacrifces? It's not your probably. You sacrifice your talent everyday to sleep and peace. You're an idiot. I hate your poetry. You never think things through. When are you going to wake up and realize you had your chance and you chose booze and cigarettes. Shouldn't you be getting back to those? Well? And at least check your spelling before you take another dumb on the screen and post it on this site. " -- Hazzard.
"Way to change the rhyme scheme mid-poem. If you're not going to bother with forcing rhyme later on, don't do it in the beginning. This will also allow for the poem to make more sense." -- Bennett.
"I liked conventional poetry. What about John Donne? Where are the metaphysics here? What's wrong with this upstart? What's wrong with his lack of form? Change in rhyme scheme? He should be shot dead, then brought back to life, then spit upon and burned to stake, along with Walt Whitman, Ezra Pound, and whoever that Larkin brat is. I hate him. I love iams, I just love to love my iams. : )" -- Cliff the Prude.
