Best Dime Poems

Devils deadly dime

The sign said no grown-up at the playground.
Tripping on a penny, like a mime!
My hand is in my pocket with the dime I found.
Its all mine, I asked for the devils hand that time.
Echoes in my head, bounded by a screaming sound.
Paying for...

I was three the first time i remember 
seeing mamas bedroom walls 
springtime colors on her quilt 
Though it really could of been December 

I don't remember much at all 
I have to thank god for that 
except for his soft footsteps down the hall...

I was reminiscin' the other day about times that were more sublime,
And got to thinkin' about those old stores called Kresge's Five and Dime.
I recall browsin' through Kresge's Stores as a lad with Mom and Dad.
There ain't no more Kresge's Stores as far as I...

I only have a nickel and a dime
I can't take you out for lunch
Are you still mine?
I cannot buy you pretty rings of gold
To compliment that hand I love to hold
I am not a part of any high class clubs
But I'm passionate
And I can give...

The Cashier at the 5 and Dime

She does not wear paint on her face. 
I noticed, there is no war to be found, 
around the corners of her mouth...
only a soft crease, 
where a smile has worn a path, 
worth retracing... 
again and again... 
with...

Every year when taxes are due, I pay mine to the full,
Even though some other people call it a bunch of bull.

Some don't pay their taxes for there is an aberration.
As time goes by they holler, "Statute of  Limitation".

They live in a life of...

You have a dream of love that didn't last. 
You search for something wrong, you might have done. 
The lockets, half a heart, were custom cast, 
The polished gold assured no end would come. 

You never knew we were a dime romance.
You felt the Earth...

A penny for your thoughts
Nine times you lied
I no longer give a dime...

Our family and Dragon went to the Mall, not so long ago, in fact just this week.
Looking for some Christmas gifts, on Black Friday, to put beneath the tree.
Suddenly before him, in a Winter Fairy Land, Dragon saw his dearest friend…
Yes, with a Ho! Ho!...

Once upon a time

I gave a bum a dime

Dropped it in his tin can

I should have ran

He grinned a grin

Filled with sin

Weapon after weapon

He ran me through

First blunt

Then sharp

Left me in the alley to die

Death - What a single dime can buy...

Harrison's Five and Dime, those wooden floors

you had were so grand and creaky.

Going up and down your small isles

passing my time while checking out

your shelves of fine goods.

Coming to the toy soldiers,

cowboys and indians which ones

should I buy today, or maybe all

of them.  Spying...

There was once upon a time, 
Unexpectedly, a very small dime. 
He did not do much of anything,
Apart from gazing. 
He just stared longingly at the sky, 
Counting the clouds that drifted by. 

Dear old Dime, not very bright,
He did not shine, not a ray...

Have you ever heard of the eighty twenty rule 
Well that was created for a lot of us fools
In a relationship you re only getting eighty percent 
Of what you really need
Even though there are twenty percent out there
That might look good indeed
Stop and think...

Time waits for no one. Isn’t that great?
If it waited on us, it would end up too late.

We think we’re the master of our time controlled realm,
But Time is the faster man at the helm.
What we witness now is already gone.
When? Where? and How? is...
