Beautiful dreamlike quality here, such lovely crafted lines. You have created an otherworldly atmosphere of poetic inclination here that drew me in. I would love to shop here! How seriously delightful this piece is . I genuinely LOVED it! Well done arqios. Really good write. Surreal and ethereal. Elizabeth

Should have seen this before grocery shopping today. I wonder what to do when the markets are gone.

A stroll down the aisles of the etherial supermarket, divinely swaying beneath a moonlit haze and he of meagre purse and not a care in the world. What a great read. How did this and the previous poem come to be, a most unusual subject, unique even, you should agree.

Wishing you all the best,

Tony

My friend, this is soft, surreal, and glows. The hush, the lyric stillness...a dream wandering into a grocery aisle and staying there. Absolutely love it. 🌹👏 A fave.

A lovely read, he might be shopping in heaven, but it reminded me of me shopping at 3 in the morning, very enjoyable

Enchanted shopping instead of elves I thought gremlins were adjusting the prices. At times demonic with shoppers possessed. A fun read Cryptic.

The sweet sorrow of a rare vintage effervescing to the last drop. An exquisite verse, arqios.

Wishing you all the best,

Cheers to this piece then. Tinged with nostalgia and a beautiful, longed-for landscape. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for sharing. Best regards.

Now there is a meeting I would have loved to have had. This is just a joy, especially the end, when we meet after a long absence we should be drinking champagne 🍾 🍾🍾🍾

Friend, this feels like toast at the edge of ruin...the way Madame sips memory like champagne while everything quietly slips out of reach. “Hope, a threadbare gown” is a phenomenal line. Line envy exists too, you know? 🤣 This is gorgeous and ghosted. 🌹👏

This one smells of nostalgia and has the taste melancholy. Very good word choice puts in my fave category

Has the hermit come across the fish counter where there are signs on the fish saying what the fish is, the cost of it and the words \"May contain fish\". I have!

La, how you cull to mind what the ladies told me the day I officially signed papers and purchased my two fluff balls; they claimed cats are practically keepers of your soul, as if. I cannot agree, however they are remarkably perceptive and sensitive to our moods, aligning themselves with the same by the second day and onward. These two pieces are so lovely. The first is gorgeous and evocative, rendered with a seductive sense which romances to the finish, the second clarifying. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a haunting, exquisite poignancy. Thank you so very much for sharing.

grocery aisle poetry
Bella Shepard said:

My Tuesday morning grocery shopping will never be the same. I shall be on engarde for the elves on the shelves, and listening for the subliminal messages coming from the freezer aisle. From now on it shall be an adventure. Witty, and oh so much fun my friend!

I think I will wait this one out, arqios; cockroaches came to mind, I don\'t know why, they have absolutely nothing to do with elves - hahaha!

With bated breath,

grocery aisle poetry
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Dear poet and friend, this is utterly spell-spun. The secret life of the grocery aisle rendered with reverence and wit...like a lullaby sung by the barcodes themselves. “Elvish dust” and lentils with memory? You just baptized the mundane with magic...which is always a wonderful endeavor. A masterpiece, imho. 🌹👏
