Best Pennies Poems

Acorn hats of wood
balanced on each fingertip
while giggles spill rich.
Felt tip markers draw the eyes
in this poor man's puppet show....

Long after the drought
vast fields of parched earth
have waited with ears to the wind
Desperate with thirst and withered to rust
each breeze tosses dust to the sky

Then, thundering sounds, from the stomper of clouds
comes from deep from the girth of the hills
There are trampling sounds, and...

The hands of twilight amble through glazed clouds
Soothing my emptiness, a  heart’s debris, 
Although one longtime wish rattles aloud
Warm is the breeze that flutes in symphony. 

Soothing my emptiness, a  heart’s debris, 
Ripples of time explore true north’s hourglass
Warm is the breeze that...

Single pennies  wont get you much these days
Hardly anything can you buy for a cent
Cents can become dollars if squirreled away
Save enough pennies you can pay the rent

Hardly anything can you buy for a cent
Yet I still pick up those pennies that I see
Save...

pennies, nickels, dimes
small but big enough for dreams
coins that roll in chimes...

A pile of pennies built strong love,
Childhood memories so sweet,
As they look down from above,
Helped make me feel complete.

Childhood memories so sweet,
Playing Rumoli using the penny,
Helped make me feel complete,
Laughter grew from so many.

Playing Rumoli using the penny,
Summer was a bonding time,
Laughter grew from so...

I found forty rusty pennies in a black leather slipper
while my itchy nose sneezed more than three times;
why were they hidden from thrifty mother?
Weren't they less valued than silver dimes?


While my itchy nose sneezed more than three times,
mom woke up to scold me for my...

See a penny, let it lay; bad luck you'll have all the day." (a proverb
from my childhood the way it was recited to me by my mother)

I’ll always pick up pennies...

You can fool a fool,
you can cheat one’s mind.
You can con a con,
even steal from the blind.

You can shake a shaker,
you can brutalize a Brut.
You can mob a mobster –
and embezzle their loot.

You can charm a charmer,
sell your soul for a penny.
You can take from...

One was when it was new.
Shiny head calling to me from days of childhood.
Pick me up and make a wish..Surely you know this to be true
for people have told you your whole life it is.
Having doubts I grasped the penny
Heard the voices of the past...

I saw three pennies in a pool,
as I walked along the bay.
Three pennies shining in the light
with nothing much to say.

                     we would need everyone to save a soul.

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...

Pick up lost pennies
You may get an angel kiss
It is worth a try...

Remember when the dollar was worth 100 pennies
Those were the days when we all had plenty
Salaries were laughable
A million was impossible
But that was way back in the twentieth century...
