Quick trip to the grocery store 
not looking for anything more; 
Suddenly a cute cashier! 
Damn! Didn’t fix my hair
before I walked out the door.

Shopping and Giving

Going to the grocery store?
Look at all the food galore!

Empathetic for all those without
Give to church and maybe charities without a doubt!

Lucky to live in U.S.A.
Have enough money to pay!

Premium Member The Corner Grocery Store

If we don’t have time for the supermarket,
there’s a store on the corner for what we can get.
For years, it has stood.
The quality and service are good.
We get what we need and more
at the CORNER GROCERY STORE.

Premium Member I Think I'm Going to Cry

Oh, if I could see once more
a gumball machine in a grocery store.
Alas, these days, I never do see any,
although, they only cost a penny -
and, then I'd like to take a ride
on a little coin operated car outside.

Grocery Poem

at the grocery store
time  moves slow
as the self-checkout line.

at the register a mother
digs  for change in her
pink purse. her daughter
laughs as she slices
a purple grape in half
with two new front teeth.

Balance

It is many months since I fell,
Going down hard on the sidewalk
Unable to rise unaided
The bruises on my face become
A topic of conversation for strangers.
The checker at the grocery store asks
"Well, who beat you up?"

Premium Member The Final Solution

My son threw a tirade
          At the parade
He rolled on the floor
          In the grocery store
He made quite a loud fuss
          On the bus
I said I’ve had quite enough
          No more guff!

imperfect

you’re the bouquet i buy on a whim at the grocery store, cheap and a little wilted, but perfect in a way that makes me want to keep them forever. even when the petals fall, i can’t bring myself to throw you away.

Grocery Poem Xxiii

stepping through the automatic doors
of a brand new grocery store
is a peek into another world

there’s no sandwich counter here, a tragedy—
but the frozen aisle in the center of the store

you have to  take the bad with the good.

Premium Member Shopping Spills

Brown paper package
New to the action
Grocery store plastic bag
Stack can goods and bottles
Customer broken sack
Fallen on floor broken bottle of ketchup
"clean-up in Asile 6"

Premium Member Eternal Complaint

My mom's children numbered four, 
so, when she went to the grocery store,
she filled the cart up and then some more, 
and complained to her friends in frustration - 
she'd paid twenty dollars (because of inflation)
at the grocery store.

The odds of going to a grocery store for a loaf of bread And coming out with just that, you'd be severely misled Odds are three billion to one Your basket will be overrun With a myriad of other mouth watering items instead

Premium Member out of milk

We were out of milk
So, we raced to the grocery store
My husband and I had competing carts
We raced around the aisles like we were on fire
As we were loading ten bags into our trunk
My husband said “Did you get the milk?”
Both of us had forgotten why we came

Premium Member Panda Pete Eats Meat

Panda Pete was an avid carnivore
Devoured small birds, snakes, and wanted more
Followed the Amazon River to Ecuador
where he lived with a meat-eating matador
these two had a great time shopping at a grocery store
purchasing steaks, roasts, chicken, fish, meats galore.

Losing My Zen In the Grocery Store

He took up a lot of space
for a skinny guy.
Arms shooting out from his pits,
grabbing this and that.
Neck jutting left and right
and all the time
occupying the middle of the aisle.
Being older and fatter,
I paused my shopping cart,
waited
pretended I didn't want
to shove his ass into
the canned peas.

Broadcast #12

I had a lover once, just one,
espied through misted panes
from my corner loft, 
above the grocery store.
His lanky gait would pause 
for the Southbound No.3.
and though I wished, 
with all my heart,
he’d lift his head from down,
the passing years have 
have brought no more
than a greying shade of brown.

Premium Member Waiting At the Grocery Store

I am parked in front of a store
There is hamburger inside with my man
He asked if I wanted to come in.
Not on your life.
I have already spent fifty dollars today
On doggy treats at the dollar store
The daily limit I allow myself to spend
Here he comes now
With a giant sack
Full of goodies
He never limits himself
