Premium Member Penurious Husband Irritates Wife

She was often totally furious
With her husband who was penurious
He gave pennies to the poor
After quite a big uproar
His flamboyant stinginess quite curious.

Kindness

Penurious hungry lad
Grab the piece of
bread
That dropped on his
head
The fortune reached
over the high wall…
Angry man in the 
Courtyard shouted 
Hay!  It is not for
you,
Keep it for 
Stray dogs!

Pace of Life

"We have searched 
some ways 
to live.

We have 
some dreams for laugh
in eyelids!
 
By chance, 
the strange view of life 
we have seen. 

As it reflects 
hazy faces 
in fog affected shiners. 
 
On the canvas of 
penurious conditions 
through the tight corridors of wilderness.

Escaping from vandal 
'Life' 
rapidly passes.!!"____ Durgesh Verma

Boquet of Bartered Love

One dozen dead roses
A pocket full of red disposes
Fidelity, fealty their temporal wrapper encloses
Organic ode that nature's bipolar rhythm transposes
Trite requiem to all the brownnoses
A token gift that penurious love exposes 
Gone are the scintillating wax poses
The mirth, pageantry time hoses
Buried in the cemetary with Grandma Moses
Bring back the artificial supposes
To satiate all of the charming virtuosas

Remembered Waves

The waves crash upon the shore evermore, 
As my soul sinks deep into my darkest friend. 
No sup to sop my ache, my scorn, with better bitter sin no more yet-gain. 

So burn, love, burn until fictitious grin some more, 
As sands drip and thoughts whip,
Like wind through gorge on whim.
Vapid values bloom in the tomb of mind of penurious men.
 
So lie, love, lie until belief is brought in shops of time; no sign of pen nor yen,
Yet I fade into the grave, remembered... only then.
