sides of me are unseen secret pockets hiding pennies zippered then snapped like locked-up diaries pockets holding words that write my stories even smiles and laughter spent-up tokens, echoing but mostly just filled with worries bursting seams, overflowing sometimes, by my choice I share these sides of me a handful of coins these sacred memories and I trust that they will hold the marked-up value of gold and not depreciate suddenly to the irredeemable qualities of patina covered pennies in your pockets (released) . |

My dear ss, that is a unique way at looking at one's self and one's memories! Very creative! A pocket-full of your pennies are worth their weight in gold! Enjoyed this delightful sharing or yourself! To know you ~ is to love you! Linda |

An interesting and endearing perspective. It serves to remind me, that every person I meet is a composite soul of many facets. One never truly knows another; there is always one more pocket, one more nook, or one more cranny to be explored. Lovely write. |

Aww geez girly, love this little beauty!! A penny for your thoughts hardly seems fitting, but it seems to fit! Uh wait a minute... does that make any sense? You know what I mean don't you! |

ooh, I really like this one, very clever metaphor and cleverly done. maybe I should call you, Money Penney, oh to know those secrets and that they come so cheap ;-) |

wow, sometimes i think we are twins from different mothers. you have a very longing quality to your writing that I'm familiar with...probably too much so. Very nice piece. zaac I kept wondering why that frisbee kept getting bigger and bigger....and then it hit me. |

but mostly just filled with worries bursting seams, overflowing. Shellie my dear girl just make sure you keep those pockets buttoned up tight so the worries won't get out. Interesting post, love. Lindsay |
