Short Splurge Poems

The Presidents Day urge to shop
Get to stores like on a bar hop
I'd visit them all
And splurge at the mall
But Amazon's my preferred stop...

SPLURGE


So here I come
Dress up the old
As new words sum
Ideas once told

Dream leaf “fall” usher
motley hue cascade unfurled
dull grey sky gaunt sun
mud strewn pockmarks on limp moss
wet nabs ripe fruit orchard splurge

I shall splurge
on a box
of black
pencils –
pointy promises that hold
treasures of words.
The rubber end
erases my mistakes,
a luxury
life does not
afford us.

Game-Changer thy conquer
Great wisdom that splurge souls
Grind to shine, through whatever
Glowing in glad mirth
Goddess, created from fine wine
Grand psyche leaves mystery
Greatness that manifest...

A bit of everything, 
water slides roller coasters;
Pre wedding trip for lovers 
Splurge? 'Cut the line' park passes;
Running like a kid, pure bliss; 
A photo booth captures us
Orlando is pure magic.

Hidden agenda:
Worth the wait;
A touching feel,
Skin on skin;
Magic rapture.


Unforgettable moment:
Waiting fancy;
Splurge of ecstasy,
Ripples of delight;
Soul greeting soul.

Quatrain #853:
IDEA


In splurge of time feel abrupt sway,
Dance of odd rhymes ushers new day;
Edgy old chimes in a brief flash,
And awkward mimes swirl final play.

Here as words steer
Steer picture clear
Clear passage gears


Poke fun at yoke
Yoke in a joke
Joke that now strokes


Pay well for play
Play that sums say
Say that greets day

Your name brand controversy is well publicized
I like to buy my drama from thrift stores
Where I get it for a dollar or less
So, I’m not wasting anytime 
Or money on my problems
Go on and splurge
You’re out of luck and out of riches...

Swift streets
Minds meet


Gain grime
Move mime


Taste treats
Boom beats


Make more
Spawn spores


Start sure
Prime pure


Splurge strain
Purge pain


Be bright
Live light

Combining only two words to form.
Gigantic means too large.
Enormous just shows sense of excess.
Both above normal norm,
use for notable stress.
But, its reuse may be to splurge.
It's not good word to conform.

Urge To Emerge With Surge

With Politics always will have urge,
To eventually end up  and emerge;
Learned  game;
Popular became;
Being conservative and not splurge.

Is Ali's relative still writing poems?
I am approaching 6,000 total....

I ate a piece of chocolate;
It was dark and hit the spot,
So I savored it quite slowly
And enjoyed it quite a lot.

There are some who splurge in secret,
Sneaking sweets in utter stealth,
But I eat my chocolate proudly
‘Cause it’s helpful to my health!...

Start now to mint
A precious tint


Line by line squeeze
Cheer charms a breeze 


Splurge with fond fest
Poise lives your zest


Truth in clear ease
Flavours true peace


Love is the art
That mellows heart

The spires take a patchwork of blonds, 
The pavements, a not-so-shiny copper,
To the harbour go a few drops of bronze,  
Even clouds get but a listless amber,

Though when long day is growing old, 
The sun, parting, never forgets to rain 
On you, on no other, a splurge of gold....

Buzz and bubble,
Sign of trouble;
Booze and babble,
Niche a double.


Fuss and disdain,
Sign of disease;
Splurge of vain gains,
Note lack of ease.


Blur and rowdy,
Times of odd trace;
Shades of moody,
Tells in your face.

Caress....
      as you undress me
Express...
     your tenderness
Confess...
     that you adore me
Posses....
     me to excess

Submerge
     yourself completely
Splurge...
     on every urge
Merge...
     your love with passion
Surge...
     as we converge

How can you have a birthday without ice cream and cake? 
To make that day extra special, that's what it will take. 
Cool and frosty, tasty and sweet. 
It certainly is scrumptuous to eat. 
Go ahead and splurge! It's a once a year treat!

inspired by another member's poem

A muse moves thought
In splurge of plot


Voice profound cite
In words you write


Poise flavours say
In words you play


Choice echoes show
In thoughts that flow


Noise shadows much
In awkward touch


Fond musings come
In steady sums

One  million dollars, 
Would it make or break your day?
With money comes responsibilities,
With its excitement,
It can cause pain.
When you splurge and spend it all,
While others can not afford to eat.
Perhaps the universe would appreciate it,
If you just gave it all away.

When you look,
Do you see?
Feast on books,
Be set free.


Heed wise sage
That you know,
Ink blank page,
Let joy flow.


Joy of heart
Knows no fear,
See soul art
Splurge right here.


When you see,
Do you look?
What may be
Hides sharp hook.

I’m happy and contented,
I feel like I could burst.
When the cake came out,
I got my mitts in first.

Some call me a glutton,
others say I’m speedy.
Actually, I’m just smart,
energetic and speedy.

I hope that on your birthday,
you somehow get the urge.
According to my book,
it’s your turn to splurge!...

Sometimes
Just stop
Listen


Then watch
See things
Unfold


Then wait
Sense form
Reveal


In time
Cause hurls
Dawning


Moments
Caress
Journey


Sense how
The now
Endows


Deep flow
Enters
Exits


Firm pause
Colon
New splurge!

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…...
