Best Penny For Your Thoughts Poems

So many pennies,
lost in the system,
rejected, neglected,
dejected -
cursed by '99' price tags,
a charity box favourite,
nobody wants nor waits for.

So many forgotten pennies,
lost on the streets or behind our sofas,
yet pounds are never thrown away.

Both are round, so why do they only care for the pound?

It is in the grey of icy evenings
When those dimly-lit wishes seem to fade,
A bitter nip, a woe this season brings

Of summer’s festive and vigorous trails
How could I not ponder on this new stage;

A penny for your thoughts
now think before you talk
then tell me how you feel, so true and so real
as emotions continue to build
no longer hiding behind a wall or shield
no reason to oppress or repress
if you'd only let go and express
you'd feel so much more...

It all started that one autumn evening
Wind blowing by my hair and tree leaves rustling
Echoing over my warm laughter
With yours blending in.
As the tinge of sunset hues reflected in your eyes 
Like they did in mine
Perhaps I should've said it then
Or maybe after we left...

I searched for a Penny
So I could hear her thoughts
Sadly there weren't any
My heart was left in knots

Perhaps a wooden Nickle 
Or maybe a thin dime

I try to figure what is moving...

with tallest pines swaying along,
and I will wipe away your tears.

Call on me to lead you home,
when your heart feels lost and void.
My words will spill out overjoyed
like moon’s cascade in...

A Penny For Your Thoughts


So he wandered deep in thought
naked ‘midst the dreams he sought
knowledge gleaned from ancient tomes
lacking truth of self-turned stones

There amid the silent din
thought of things unknown...
