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

~~~~~~~~~


Flea market bazaar
Noisy excavations;
Happy discoveries

~~~~~~~~~


Vendors preside
Over special goods;
Come buy, come buy

~~~~~~~~~


Business pulse shows
Some transacting briskly;
Others just waiting

~~~~~~~~~


Weekend bazaar
Cash and carry ventures;
Curious smiles...

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 the sight of spring
None can pacify better
For season flies without wings
And quick does it charm scald beauty
 Of whose time...

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
In brisk momentum;
Each going places,
Motion feeds quantum.


History lives here
In ample shopping;
This locale endears,
Branded goods shouting.


This tourist belt hurls
Myriad offerings:
Tempting wants that...

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 punctuates
Tucked in a corner;
Niched following


Verse genres ply
Moods and variations;
Starling change surprise


Clap books monochrome
Small print runs;
Modest readership circle


Works on offer
Book bargains...

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 and
eviction pink
slips between nighttime wannabe okays
into an “oh hell not today”
must-smile-for-the-boss realities
do me sideways and kiss me
without Prozac or
2am remorse

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

~~~~~~~~~


Cash and carry
Wind-blown haze;
Free Gift galore

~~~~~~~~~


Smog chokes
Haze-filled lungs;
People suffering

~~~~~~~~~


Sumatra burns
Hazy concessions;
Groggy tensions

~~~~~~~~~


Finger-pointing:
Tai-Chi blunders;
Culprits make money!

~~~~~~~~~


Plunder
Blunder;
Thunder

~~~~~~~~~

What if....?
Death was a lottery,
With a Powerball price of a million dollars 
Will people still queue up to play?

What if death was a clock, and you had one option 
To either fast forward, pause, or rewind it; What will your option be?

What if death was...

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


Ideas muzzle time
Vague affairs shade rhymes


Cash and carry stuff
Outcome funds enough


Listen as heart floods
Pulse of anxious blood


Explore odd sightings
Lines now wandering

I think back to many a year
when Christmas time was very dear
our tree aglow with lights and fruit
having spent many hours in rubber boots
trudging the woods for that special tree
snow had fallen clear up to our knees
we'd trim and cut then make a stand
our Christmas...

While heading out to pick up a few groceries
in the Italian Deli ‘Pastosa’ on Richmond Road,
fear grips me as I’ve something that I forgot
and can only be available in other supermarkets
like Pathmark, Waldbaum , Cash and Carry, etc.

These are vegetables, fruit, and other ingredients
reasonably cheap...

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 feel fine.


Tempting offers,
Nice stuff to get;
Do consider,
Cash your best bet!


Waltz here and there,
Love that and this;
Unneeded wares
Sum up the list.


Such...

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 more

~~~~~~~~~


Cash and carry,
Burn the fields;
What AQI?

~~~~~~~~~


One world
Connected swirls;
Extreme pain hurls

~~~~~~~~~


Use people huh?
Make more money;
Discharge smog?

~~~~~~~~~


Ashy fragrance
Too much perfume;
No contrition

~~~~~~~~~


Nature groans
Suffocated...

Friend,
Tell me no more...
Tell me no more about trust,
For trust is a barren risk,
A naked wire,
With no remorse or warranty
Tell me not about truth,
For truth has become a figment of imagination...
Truth has become propaganda, slander and mobbing 
Tell me not about justice,
Justice have become solstice

Friend,
Tell...

pants for watching -
as we wonder around the supermarket

my daughter pushes her own trolley
she's trying to give her brother's shins a wallop

he shouts at her - how dairy 
the trolley is confiscated; we look for the extra strong mints

there's a dog in a trolley
looking shell-shocked

we...

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

Here is a blank verse

Here is a blister

Here is a boulder

There is a slogan that I see rising

Urge to utterance

United hopes

United tribes

Ultimate miseries

It...
