Penny for Your Thoughts~

Metallic nights,
shiny tokens
saved in slots
of rainy days.

Once bright copper
jingled pocket,
fell through the hole
face down in the dust,
unlucky to pick up,
tarnished touch.

Not two cents worth of truth given,
left nothing but a tear..
just a penny
waiting
for change.

Sky...I always pick up pennies when I see them, I also save all my pennies, nickels & dimes from my pockets as I get them.
Average about $50.00 a year or so.
Use to go to casino with my 50.00 but afraid to go now with the virus.
Enjoyed your little jingle. Thanks for sharing...Paul

Holy heck, the weight of that penny. If you could somehow do great honor to bad luck, neglect, avoidance and price paid in solitude you've done it here. Beautiful, in a vey mournful way.
