Shopping
Shopping is the new 41st prompt from our friend, Brenda Arledge. With each new prompt the Hubpage authors scramble to write poetry or perhaps a short story using the new prompt. These prompts have inspired us to try new types of writing and stretch our skills to new horizons. This has been very special to me, as I had not written poetry for several years, and I have found I really enjoy it.
Shopping is thought of in several ways, whether it is grocery shopping or maybe buying a gift for a loved one or good friend.
The first poem is an acrostic poem. The second poem is about christmas and the last poem is about grocery shopping.
Shopping will be done today
Holiday gifts for every loved one
Over the budget, we don’t care
Packages too many, but it is fun
Pinched toes as I’ve walked so far
I started early, I won’t forget one
No time of year is better than this
Grateful when I am finally done
Christmas Shopping
Walking from store to store
Shopping for the perfect gifts
Feet hurting and legs aching
But I will keep making the tour
Looking for a gift they will adore
Celebrating Christmas each year
Making memories that we hold dear
Precious times that we hold near
Grocery Shopping
Not happy it’s grocery shopping again
It seem I just went, but here once more
Filling the buggy with household goods
Feeding the family is definitely a chore
Always checking my list at least twice
Don’t want to forget any meat or spice
Do I need eggs, I’m just not sure
Guess I’ll buy a dozen to be sure
The cart is loaded to the very brim
I didn’t get off cheap once again
Prices are climbing quickly I think
It’s painful to know I’ll be back next week
