Best Coin Poems

I roll along a dark ledge
Teetering between yesterday and oblivion
Contemplating one final sin
My ultimate act of inner hate
Do I have a choice or is it fate?
A half second away from nowhere
Feeling cool air blowing through my hair
Wishing it could blow away my despair
Lungs sucking in...

Darkness lies behind the locked gate
Vastness is what’s beyond the wall
Crassness delves into my longed soul
Fondness it makes a great heart call

Key to the gate I have in hand
Magically I’ll enter heaven
Hopefully I’ll hold the threshold
Tenderly I see what’s given

To the center, here’s the fountain

This coin depicting a head of man with laurel
is a rare treasure from the American History,
as an auctioneer I could sell it for a large
sum of money: its estimated price is over 
two-thousand-dollars, it shows it was minted 
in eighteen-ninety-four, come forward and bid!

I found...

There've been moments when 'twas courage I needed 
like the time I climbed to the crest of a mountain
to overcome my fear of heights. It was superseded
with bravery I found in myself to give me credibility
instead of wishing by throwing a coin in the fountain.
Quarters,...

She stands there in knickers,
A cap on her head,
Looking tomboyish, truant and tough
And a cigarette dangles
From unsmiling lips
To warn all she’s not taking their guff.

It’s a sepia snapshot,
The 20’s, I’d guess,
The photographer long in his grave,
But the girl is my grandmother
Though I’ll admit
It’s an image...

Inspired by the form Suzette shared.

Clothes are washed in the machine
Left behind a stain

My mental load is rinsed through
Does not remove pain

With a one rupee coin having tiny hole
to talk endlessly throughout the day
to reach to you ,fulfill my goal
shower love talks you can say.

To talk endlessly throughout the day
I tied a string through that hole
shower love talks you can say
bringing closer our thirsty souls.

I tied...

I have an old box
in that box, I have
collected many "treasures"
Not treasures of great value
but small memories of time
that has passed

This box is like a "scrapbook"
that makes me so happy
Look...look what I found today:
an old coin that is
marked by time

The coin is brown, a little...

A lost coin in the mist of the cloud
Thrown into the shadow of the crowds
Never to be found except in our heart
I lost a friend, a precious one indeed
The mother lost a son, a good son indeed
... The school lost a student, a brilliant one...

People have two sides
Like The Roman God Janus' coin
A good side, a bad side
A past, a future
One must embrace both in
Someone we love...

I cringe at the thought 
 of approaching old age, 
  falling hair, sagging skin, 
   hideous wrinkles and all
    as the reality of mortality
     finally beckons.

     Yet when I look...

I’d like to tell you a short story of me, 
From being important to being alone.
Like when I was in the middle of the stadium, 
And I was the one that was thrown.

When I was new, I was clean, I was shiny, 
And I held...

A tiny, glowing, wing-ed creature flies
to homes around the world in every land
compelled to take each tooth we lose and then, 
to sneak a coin to sleepers whilst they sigh
as wispy whistles whoosh from holes inside
and taking the milk teeth we lose as planned
when growing...
