A Coin In The Fountain

Twirling
Head over heels
Sun glinting
On its edges
Dreams afloat
On riffled air
The splash
A cool see-saw descent
Of hope’s
Last penny

So many hopes and dreams riding on that 'lucky penny.' Great write, John! ~ Gershon

I love this poem from point of view of the coin. Good luck with the contest.

You need to book a flight to Rome and throw a coin into the Trevi!!!
