Array ( [sid] => 166735 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Pretty Penny [time] => 2011-07-09 16:19:04 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Today I was walking along
And spotted a penny on the ground.
I walked over to were it lay
And wondered at what I had found.

I thought about why it was here
And tried to find a trace
Of who had it before
It wound up in this place.

Maybe it belonged to a man with black pants
With green shoes and a red tie
Or maybe it was from a little girl
Who was oh, so shy

Or perhaps it was stolen by a robber
Who dropped it while he quickly ran
From a loyal dog who chased him down
His poor old wrinkled man.

This coin could have come from a crazy old lady
Who kept it in her rosy purse
Who tripped and fell and lost her money
Who was then taken by a nurse

It would make more sense if it came from a chubby child
Who had his penny in his pocket
While wobbling to the store
It came out of its lint filled socket

I guess I will never know
How this penny came to be
But I do know where it will go
Because now it is going with me.

Pretty Penny

Welcome to YPDC.
I really like your poem.
It's really thought provoking.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
