Ban and J.R. sat in the kitchen restless in their chairs, rambling on with pleasure, they were such a pair. Outside a very pulling seductive summer day, but they were focused with what is in front of them. They have finished counting all the old copper wheat pennies in the canning jar, which was full to the brim. It was theirs. Their eyes wooed still, with anticipation; how many there are, as they shared. So many they thought, with open jaws. Once more their hand reached into the jar. With excitement, fingers curl around the copper coins, withdrew out a few stamped, with stars with hopes of spending the coins. 3/4/2023 Writing Challenge - ''J'' Words - Poetry Contest 2.
