Supermarket Sin
We exchanged long glances
in cereal, aisle seventeen
she inspected granola bars
it was Lucky Charms for me
she admired my choice
it made me quite ambitious
In my sexiest voice I whispered
they’re magically delicious
unimpressed she went her way
but this chimp never quits
before I chased after her
I picked up AppleBits
she gave a dirty look in produce
did she consider me a felon
I gazed at her so lovingly
As she squeezed her juicy melons
she began to fondle the dry nuts
it made me a little queasy
she smiled at this blushing chimp
does she think that I’m so easy
she picked up a forbidden fruit
and flashed her bad girl smile
nothing beats supermarket sin
unless it’s love in the produce aisle
Last week after my post “Just Dessert” I got into a conversation with my friend Sandra of what Sandra thinks. The following day she posted a short story entitled “dessert first” which was written in a supermarket. Our crazy conversation led to me offering to write a poem about love in a supermarket. Here is the link to Sandra’s piece.

I’m going to send you a link to what the greatest secular love poet, Pablo Neruda, said about poetry. To me, it is the greatest advice on secular poetry ever. I make a distinction between secular and liturgical poetry because no-one will ever write poetry as divine as King David’s Psalms.
Pablo Neruda (Nobel Laureate) was into free-verse poetry. So am I. Rhyming doggerel is not my thing. Everything becomes far too predictable when you know a word is coming up in two or more lines that will rhyme with the end word in the aforementioned line. Free verse poetry contains its own rhythm and melody within itself.
These aren’t things you can learn overnight. I spent three years studying under one of the greatest poets in Australia.
Anyway, here’s the link:

Fair enough. I didn’t realise that.
As for Pablo Neruda? Check out some of his works, especially ’20 Love Poems and a Song of Despair.’
This is the opening to his poem, ‘Poetry.’
And it was at that age … Poetry arrived
in search of me. I don’t know, I don’t know where
it came from, winter or a river…
And here’s the trailer to the film ‘Il Postino’ (The Postman) about Pablo Neruda’s exile in Italy.
