Premium Member A Four Line Poem

At the kitchen table I like to linger while I drink ginger tea
Planning my weekly shopping list I must remember corn and peas.


Premium Member I Came Upon a Centipede

I came upon a centipede
whose family was in need - 
sad news.

How, said I, can I assist?
Let's write a shopping list - 
please choose.  

There's just one thing
that, for us, you can bring -
that's shoes.

Shopping List

Clove of garlic for the heart
Green tea for diabetes
Carrots for the eyes
Milk for healthy teeth and bones
Coffee for alertness
Prune juice for regularity
Spaghetti for energy
Oatmeal for fullness
Green beans for vitamin 12
Red meat for anemia
Apple fritter for my sweet tooth

Ode To Our Pens

A pen is unique to it's hand.
Fingers take comfort, from familiar scrawls;   
From the most luxury Parker to the humblest biro,
Your pen is faithful, your pen is yours.

Wether it's a trivial shopping list,
Or a staggering masterpiece,
None of it could be possible,
Without your pen's ink ready to speak.

Shopping List

Bananas and green beans,
a lot of other healthy things.
I’ll probably get some soda pop
and I think we need a new wet mop.
If the cart has room for a new TV
I’ll splurge and get one just for me!
Frozen pizza is on my list
and 3 2-liters of Sierra Mist.
I can’t forget shampoo and soap,
That’s all my shopping for today…

God Has Given All

God has given all 
                                      shopping list to buy items
                                     till all things weren't bought

                                       He checks all the bags
                                    returns back to earth again
                                         to complete mission

Premium Member Shopping Lists

*(a poem in Senryus)*

You don’t have to count,
when you lose a boyfriend, you
know. There was just one.

He was gone before
I knew it - he wasn’t, you know,
tied up or anything.

For a moment I
toy with saying, “Alexa, add
rope to my shopping list."

In High School boyfriends 
come and go - it's like shopping
- where you return things.

Pockets

In my pockets, there might be
A tissue or receipt,
A movie stub or wrapped-up candy
For a little treat.

Others may stash keys or coins,
A shopping list or gum.
Empty pockets are quite rare,
Though surely there are some.

Jacket pockets fill with gloves
Or even mittens, maybe,
And kangaroo moms’ pockets
May contain a sleeping baby.

But my favorite pocket use,
When circumstance demands,
Is as a place in which to plunge
My cold or nervous hands.

Food Delivery

Our fridge is full to bursting – 
The food arrived today.
It’s always nice to see so much
Just waiting, on display.

The staples we rely on
Plus, of course, a little splurge – 
Today it was a key lime pie
For which I had the urge.

The fruit and veggie bins are stuffed;
The shelves are crammed as well.
We’ve not forgotten anything,
As far as I can tell.

So now we can begin the job,
Which I cannot resist,
Of digging in, until it’s time
For our next shopping list.
