Best Cash And Carry Poems

Holiday season
Shopping spree;
Downtown bazaar

~~~~~~~~~


Easy atmosphere
All sorts of stuff;
Bargains galore

~~~~~~~~~


Table stalls cluster
Mini display items;
Souvenir trinkets

~~~~~~~~~


Crowded commotion
Zesty curiosity;
Sellers and buyers

~~~~~~~~~


Tucked in a corner
Custom-made brooches;
Artistic flair revealed

~~~~~~~~~

The cash and carry of love
Which summer doth requisite
When will thou birth me a dove?
Soon autumn will bid for hunt-		5
To gratify winter’s drudge
Oh! Far is...

February dusk descends
Upon Orchard Road;
My walking attends
As feet bear clear loads.


Bright and breezy moods
In crowded walkways;
Casual tour feels good
As curious sights sway.


A sea of faces

Blurry e-motion
Waiting on words;
Upheaval swirls


Meal time posture
Food court harvest;
Same old stuff


Chinatown fringe 
Walkabout excursion;
Hot humid weather chokes


Word for word jazz
Relevance juxtaposed;
Poignant verse strains 


Book store...

Lil’ twobits clanging
past midnight with
cash and carry dreams
sell low buy
cheap tomorrows news bouncing
yesterdays hate
in WTF headlines
“oh for sure like its for reals”
u know sunset paychecks...

Pretoria isn't far from Soweto yet
Earth's curve still hid each from the other
As blind eyes denied the other's pride
Colored only, European only - apartheid
Eradicated,...

Browse and take a look
Word clusters can hook


Verse scripts feel mellow
Meaning now swallows


Sculpt such clever finds
Reason charms clear mind


Word for word now dash
Conflict cradles clash

Waiting time
Loiters long;
Tentative tact

~~~~~~~~~


Unfinished
Block booking;
Time seeps away

~~~~~~~~~


Hazy complaints
Ashy sky blurring;
Smoky air blots

~~~~~~~~~


Drowsy notes
Morning haze floods;
Cranky moods

~~~~~~~~~


Burning smog
Hazy indiscretions;
Madness percolates

~~~~~~~~~


Sad and sorry
Same old story;
Sooty somehow

~~~~~~~~~

Death was a lottery,
With a Powerball price of a million dollars 
Would people still queue up to play?

What if death was a clock, and...

City mall stroll,
Quaint shoppes and things;
Brisk on a roll,
Sales placards sing!


Shoppers cascade,
Bump, browse and look;
Fancy parades,
Clothes, food and books.


Hypermart queues,
Waiting in line;
Purchase on cue
Stuff to...

Joy seeps away
Hazy smog suffocates;
Madness bears fruits

Next holocaust
Breathless dying slowly;
Asphyxia mumbling 

~~~~~~~~~


So many lessons
Unlearnt spoilage;
Malicious intent

~~~~~~~~~


Upside down world
Unscrupulous and greedy;
Exploits souls

~~~~~~~~~


Jigsaw puzzle:
Use things well,
Love people...

There is nothing that I cannot forget

Neither the tides

Never the shores

Newer terrains

Nether ashes

There is a fever that I see ferocious

Here is a blanket

Spring basks
Midnight moon floats;
Silver interlude

~~~~~~~~~


Cool wind
Slides over shiver;
Breezy massage

~~~~~~~~~


Darkness spreads
Shadowy tentacles;
Bleak black shades

~~~~~~~~~~


Shopping spree
Extravagant desires;
Cash and carry

~~~~~~~~~~


Birthday boy
Bundle of joy;
Another earth angel

~~~~~~~~~~


Plumeria florals
Reds and yellows;
Frangipani...
