Dale's Mega Foods! Dad's
office, doughnuts, flick rentals,
liquor store inside!
There was a bagel
machine, and a cake photo
thing. Eat your own face!
Open every
day but Christmas and Easter.
Holiday quiet.

FOR THE LOVE OF SHOES
She was a high class
Dame,who sold shoes for a living.
He liked leather's smell.
He sat on a plush
Chair,listened to tux-man's piano.
"May I help you,? she said,
Simmering,loafer
Held aloft. Moroccan-kid
Intoxicated,
"I'll take it," he said.
"Wouldn't you like to try it?"
"Nordstrom's will return...
And so will I.Lunch?"
"Customer's always right."
He smelled like...new shoes.

Love Tuesday Morning
A store full of discount stuff
I can browse for hours
Curtains, dishes, toys
garden tools, cocktail napkins
you just never know..
like a dress-up trunk
use your imagination
the choices, endless....

Dewey’s Bakery —
Moravian Sugar Cake
and other goodies!
. . . . .
Looked out the window
on the way to Mom’s office
to see the Bentleys.
. . . . .
The Deacon Shop serves
not the church but athletics —
our true religion.
. . . . .
Winston-Salem has
The Train Loft, models that say,
“Southern Serves the South.”
. . . . .
The toy store had tanks
and half-tracks behind locked glass —
all beyond my reach.

diadelkendall - i was thrilled to see your haiku on the Big Store at Crystal Beach! My family had a house at Emerald No. 1 from 1974 to 2004. I never expected to see poetry about Crystal Beach. I loved Swede's Store when Swede still owned it, and Bay Vue Grocery was OK, but we all were so excited when the Big Store opened. What's it's real name, Gulf Coast Market or something like that? None of us called it anything but the Big Store. Thanks for rekindling memories. - Jill Scoggins, Louisville, KY
