Premium Member Purse

I love how he is always manhandling my precious purse,
It's better than how he was handling my actual purse.
I love how he is always fondling me until I aloud curse.

Stylish purse stands tall and proud
Showing her colors, sparkling and loud.
The rest of the purses are a bit intimidated.
Many of them already recycled or eliminated.

Spider's Purse - Attache Case

Survey as artist drafts her masterpiece,
enclosing space invisibly across.
Then single-handedly, she will increase
the center parts to form unseen valise.

Premium Member A Silk Purse

A silk purse is made

      from quality proven cloth....

            sow’s ear excluded

----------------------------------
"A silk purse can not be made from a sow's ear" 
meaning good products can not be made from
poor materials"

Premium Member finding a forgotten purse

Inhaler
Dimes
Brown napkin
Three pairs of eye glasses
Two pencils, an eraser and a pen
Wallet with seventeen dollars and eighty-two cents
Comb, cracker, stale muffin, five receipts, toothpicks
Tiny piece of pink ribbon, twenty-two allergy pills
Empty pill bottle
Sometimes finding a forgotten purse feels like Christmas

Premium Member Secrets In Grandmas Purse

secrets in grandmas purse

There were hidden depths in Grandma Kates purse.
Children,  gathered close when she came to stay, hoping
 to partake of some strange or exotic tidbit.  Everyone tried 
to look nonchalant but were bursting to peer inside.

humbugs with creamy stripes
sen sen in a paper packet 
red turkish delight

Purse Rifler

Stumble, fumble, ponder, worry,
From under a thumb a Rifler did scurry.
Cold night as it was,
And only one purple slipper, 
The Rifler ventured
Met a West London clipper.
Vivid and boisterous,
So brilliant this sight.
And wise beyond years 
To the Rifler's delight.
So moved he had left her.
And after years of malarky,
She knew what to do now.
If she could just find her car key!

Premium Member They Run For Elvis Purse Lee

He swivels his hips and the felines come running
I am not one of them, I am balcony sunning.
I watch them howl at his gyrations and grinds.
He is such a tease; and he attracts all kinds.

Since he started to dress up like his hero Elvis
He has more action than a street walker’s pelvis.
I roll my eyes, glad I threw him away when I did.
He is my ex-husband, who doesn’t even support our kid.

Ebony Tongue

though they sought the gentle verse
a wracking pain drew up their purse 
as thoughtless sovereigns hissed their curse 
the dollars drained; their feign- rehearsed

this tragic dismantling 
ever-torn fabric seams 
flowing a pious demand of the feed 
groveling majesties 
planted their effigy 
cordially under the pew cushion seats

stating repeat 
loving the myrrh 
silent decree
ebony spurs

Purse Worthy

A fellow poet the other day
Had the kindest words to say
At first I kind of felt all nerdy
To hear my poem would be “purse worthy”
This was a term quite new to me
So she explained it so I’d see
It meant she thought the poem was good
She’d put it in her purse – she would
So she could read it any time
I’m kind of glad I wrote that rhyme

three inhalers
two bottles with one pill each
six receipts from dollar stores
one bedraggled checkbook
straw wrapper
three pairs of glasses, all smudged
I-phone
sunglasses missing one lens
twenty-three pennies
two nickels
twenty-seven dollars in a small coin purse
Kleenex
three credit cards

reminder to pay a bill from three months ago
I get rid of the pennies
hoping my purse will be lighter

VERSE PURSE

VERSE PURSE

Yearly tradition
Poetry competition
All had ambition

Just wait for the call
Announced in the Poet Hall
Said the know it all

Poems submitted
Against each other pitted
Even dim-witted

The results were in
The winner identified
And brought to the front

It was a lottery
Not based on experience
Most there were displeased

When not selected
He said to the guy behind
Not chosen, are you

Spider's Purse

a dizain

Admire her casting, lines of silky floss;
survey as artist drafts her masterpiece.
Enclosing space invisibly across,
then single-handedly, she will increase
the center parts to form unseen valise.
A purse of unsuspected, vicious taint -
its straps in hand, she naps - a wily feint.
Artistic beauty flows, but will soon ebb,
when tender insects clutter her restraint.
Artiste awakes to wealth within her web.

A Stolen Purse

A Stolen Purse

By Elton Camp

Sue’s BMW was parked in front of her house
Where her purse was stolen by some louse

The neighborhood was supposed crime free
Because it was located in a gated community

The purse was worth $400, Sue did claim
A wallet valued at $200 she also did name

Her purse also contained a nice little stash
In it was $800, every bit of it in cold cash

Sue doesn’t know what she is going to do
For the thief got her food stamps cards too

The Grave Digger's Purse

From Riches I think like the Rich.
Their problems in need of being solved.
Where thinking outside of the box
means others less rich or evolved.

Where people who think like the poor
have problems that never get solved.
And thinking outside of their box
means yelling - "The Rich Are Involved".

Where nothing we have is in common
and nothing we share more a curse.
That deaths side by side should mean nothing
than the grave of a grave digger's purse.

Premium Member My Lucille Ball Purse

My twin sister Carolyn is wildly creative.
She has made me a Lucille Ball purse.
It is fabulous; I love it!

There is a cartoon montage of Lucy all over it.
Many recognizable faces on various episodes of I Love Lucy.
I carried it around to several stores today.

Strangers begged to know where I got it.
I could have set up shop and sold these.
It’s a computer bag, not a purse my sister told me when I called her.
I smiled at the predictability of my twin.

Premium Member The Purse

 
I know a lady who had an overflowing very small grey purse, there was so much "stuff" inside that it was threatening to burst; anyways some time goes by until we meet again, and she proudly shows me her new purchase; a larger purse . . . that is ready to burst ! ____________________ September 17, 2022 For my friend Norine Poetry/Light Verse/The Purse Copyright Protected, ID 09-1488-811-17 All Rights Reserved, 2022, Constance La France

Money For Long Not In a Purse

Money not in one’s purse for long
Does not make a welcome song;
Attract it does notions of a curse
Not all of them hurled at the purse.

But it is a challenge to self reimburse 
And try to become one’s financial Nurse,
So that things don’t heat up to a worse
And bombs you never wanted at first
Fatally going ahead to burst.

Money for long not in a purse
Makes one’s tips tightly purse,
Ceaselessly fetching one languid remorse
And me keeps a rolling stone, no moss.

Ugly Purse

My beautiful 
thoughts
are carrying 
your 
ugly purse
Inside
lipsticks
that gave
a thousand 
kisses
Alongside 
perfumes
that tittalated
your
manly sentiments
Underneath
scented lotions
that absorbed
the skin of
your potions
Over
keys that
ignited sparks
beating in
your heart
Beside
credit cards
slipped
inside my
wallet
charging
your interest
Tucked away
in the zipper
compartment
snickers bars
from
your sweetest
department

The Purse

Dedicated to my little Bubby!

Hello Kitty, Barbie it doesn’t matter
It holds her Christmas money and Birthday wishes close to her heart
She wants to be a grown up
Her Innocent charm is adorable

Now in her chest
Holds her hopes and dreams
Of her future Prince Charming
A Fairytale it seems

This time it’s bigger
Writing supplies and books
A change of clothes
On her it hooks

Now square and flat
To carry her day
She keeps it close
So her life’s work won’t fade away
