Playing For Dimes

Came across this old vet
From yesterdays gone.
His voice full of tears.

He sang for his flag,
And played for the boys
He once knew.

Saving Your Nickels and Dimes

    You feel so good, when you spend less
       saving your nickels and dimes

    But when you eat what you bought
       you might want to confess ~
    Spending a bit more ain't no crime

Pennies, Nickels And Dimes

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

March of Dimes

The March Of Dimes
came knocking and
I said to go away

And asked them what
they're talking bout
to hear "just better way"

Then asked them what they did before
and said "they never begged"

And how they every got this way
to make the fighting weigged

Boomers Prince Or Pauper

Boomers Prince or Pauper
David J Walker

Remembering when young 
boomers knew
That a quarter really mattered
As  juvenile consumers grew
The choices always flattered

Displayed in rows at 
the corner store
The buying power pondered 
A quarter could last 
An hour or more
Before its value squander

Remember the times when
Quarters and dimes
Were at the root of children’s chatter
And now in tin

Revolutionary Para-Dimes

A difference between compassion and sympathy,

between co-empathic passion
and unilateral YangPatriarchal-empathic, 
ego-empowering intent,

Compassion matures passion FOR
into shared passion WITH.

This same emergent fluidity
cannot be said of sympathy
for suffering of Other,
who remains another dissociated Other

Exempted from democratic inclusion
in further considerations
of constitutionally appropriate applications
of Golden Rules
to those who remain
in darker xenophobic shadows
more appropriate for retributive reaction
than restoration to peaceful

Nickles and Dimes

"i...see..."
(said the blind man)
"sew"
(he took out his thimble...needles and saw)
"a coat"
(threads of truth...a covering of friends)
"rents"
(...other washed rags to keep warm by)
"wear"
(...as shelter...like..this...usual old crap)
"to beg"
(for change outside the subway where...the shop once was)

Three Dimes a Message From Heaven

Three Dimes a message from Heaven from a father asking to be forgiven
Three Dimes for two sisters but not for the third.Until a couple of days later just laying on the curb.
Three Dimes stood for three daughters but the third already knew.With a tear in her eye and looking up at the sky.
That's all I

Rich Dimes

Let's walk down memory lane,
skipping past forgotten pain.
And recall what used to be
when games were most often free.

Remember when for a lark,
we'd play "hide and seek" till dark?
And small chores earned us rich dimes;
though our clothes dried on clotheslines.

We believed in Santa Claus,
superheroes, and just cause.
And fresh air held a sweet smell,
while water came from

Few Dimes For a Meal

He roams through empty boulevards
To sleep at night… alone,
Where from the unlit doorway
Is a makeshift called home.

By morning, arm raises thin palm,
In hope that passers-by
Could drop a few dimes… watch them fall,
Then maybe eat a rye.

While sensing a deluge of rain
The boy hears the winds roar,
All drained, old shanty torn apart
Can of soup, peas… no

Quarter Among Dimes

She likes to snowboard
I'm a beast on skis
She is about the cold
Summer works best for me

Her cranberry spiked absolute
My scotch is on the rocks
She's thick, artistic, astute
I'm a chip off the old block

She likes women
Hey look, so do I
she's smart, ambitious, driven
I've got this poetic mind

She's a mountain girl
I'm partial to the beach

I use my

Counting Dimes

Counting dimes in the coffee shop
dangling earrings peeling orange
rinds, stuffing her mouth sitting on
her behind.

She had guts in her soul enough
to face the sun and what she had
done.  Her tattoo came to life.
Loosening her hair, she kicked the
garbage can.  Shaking bells on her 
toes, she traveled the land.  Sand
neath her sandals.

Face up

Nickels and Dimes

Doesn’t make any difference
Although some think it does
Some change, how and who change?
Do you have any change?
A nickel or a dime
Hot dogs get ‘em while you can
A nickel or a dime
Who’s to know but you
The difference between this and that
All our stuff that drives choices
Who cares what or who you are
Walking alone without your stuff
To

7 Dimes...

”...daughter dear come sit and play
I’ve drawn a star to show the way
Here are the dimes, one for each day
From point to point, place them all I say.”

”... a wallet and a watch…”
Time is moving and I’m to catch!
Forth dime placed on the One to match!
How, and how now to fetch the rest….

”... spectacles …”

The Dimes

One afternoon I went digging in my purse
For all the change that I could find
But all that was there in that big empty purse
Was two quarters and two dimes

Not enough that day to buy that snack
And no checks to cash for more
Just two old quarters and two little dimes
My stomach was wishing for more!
