Worth the Dime

I don't feel worth the dime
Or anyone's time
As I write this rhyme
I wonder why anyone tried
Lost in my mind
Looking to find
A reason why.

Premium Member Out On A Limb

A tall tree I did climb, on a bet of a dime. Baby Bear said it was funny, it was not for the big money. The limb broke what a crime.

Premium Member Rhondhouse Rhonda Dances For a Dime

Roundhouse Rhonda dances for a thin dime.
She’s at the laundrymat all of the time.
It’s kind of funny,
All about money,
A dollar would give you a spin sublime.

drowning in fear
an ocean of self

Vagueness and mediocrity
Mass produced inferior talent

Premium Member A Shiny Dime - Nursery Rhyme

Katy had a shiny dime
She placed it in the hands of time
  The clock struck twelve
  Rang out sweet chimes
Her dime a diamond -- so sublime

If You Give a Bum a Dime

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

Birthday Dime

musing folds of a rose
The charm of a petal.
Oozing the essence of your sweetness
pink waves reaching clouds
chasm of the valley filled with your muse
millions would Allured by your charm,
Live in a world of fantasy,
an azure sky
a golden dime
wish you happy birthday and great time

Life Is As Silver As Dime

He went to earth 
To pay the debt of life
So we will learn humbleness
How to let go and repent
Embrace the pain and loss
Continue life in His grace
Heal the day we say thank you
Care to be the example of His goodness
Share love and blessing to each one
Because life is as silver as dime.

Sullivan Stole My Dime

Sullivan  stole my dime
                                    He was taxed with the crime
                                            In my backyard
                                            My Sully  feared
                                    He might pay with the rhyme











Sullivan=my pet ghost

Premium Member A Nickel In My Ear a Dime On My Head

A nickel in my ear,
A dime on my head.
Two quarters in my nostrils.
The dollars are all dead.

A page in my arm.
The rest of the book never found.
You’ve been busy dear
All I’ve done is fool around.

A token in my pipe.
Empty penny slot next to my head.
Golden goose is laying hard.
The dollars are all dead.

Premium Member A Dime in His Pocket

   A dime in his pocket
     hope in his heart
   Just his clothes on his back
     but he’d make a new start

   Constricted at home
     he took to the road
   Foraged for food
     yet upright he strode

   Three days and two nights
     of this, all it took
   For him to come home ~
     let mom and dad off the hook

A Dime In the Grime

Feeble steps
Eyed the plum
Nestled
In a cesspool of grime
His eyes they twinkled
Tongue salivating
It's been long
The hunger so strong
End of the road
For a body so cold
The car came screeching
Out popped a head
Here take this dime
Now stop your whine
His heart it panicked
The plum in smithers
Now there are no pangs
For this body asunder--

Have My Money

She said she was interested...
She said she was single...
Turns out neither was true except for...
Money to pay for her shallow appearance,
her nails,
her yoga lessons,
her kickboxing lessons,
her makeup addiction to hide from the world her true nature.
Her definition of single and broke is vastly different from mine.
and not one mention... of the wellfare of her child over her own.

Dime Bag Days

Take me back to the dime bag days
     when we were hotel hippies, 
thirsty for trouble and stuck in a state 
     of delirium.

Our souls were scattered messes
     among the unbent hills - 
dreaming of rebellion and freedom,
     pockets empty, heart's empty 

Having no sense of direction and 
     craving toxicity like it is a 
natural remedy. We were walking
     disasters, baddie two shoes.

Lifted Spear

A man collected a dime
To commit a crime;
The wildest cheer
After lifting his spear;
A decided thrust
On a flesh asking for eleventh-hour trust
But surely heading for the dust
Where iron and steel also rust.

Execution, now enjoying a mime,
On the victim’s nostrils a filmy slime;
Off and on receiving a ghastly tear,
Here and there an agonizing sear.

Murderer keeps looking at his time,
Job’s delayed completion his own crime.

Nickel and Dime

we try to make a dollar stretch
but never wonder why
when all the credit cards and checks
createdanother pie
but if you try to get a piece
they say that you're in debt
but how is that when you take lease
plus you created it
i see this system has its flaws
thru which abusers slip
but keep us clamped inside these jaws
with never ending grip
i simply see it all the time
how many of us play
continue to nickel and dime
when you could quit today

This Little Dime

This little dime
I  want at any cost
I live in a luxury Vegas penthouse  
This little dime
I roll down my sleeve
Hidden under my tux like a cream
This little dime
I have lost my mind
I am willing to go blind
For it and die
This little dime 
I don’t need it anymore 
Because I don’t have eyes to see  it anymore
This little dime
Never meant me well
I am okay that I am in hell
This little dime
I am happy you are not mine
Even though I miss fine women and wine

Premium Member Nickel and Dime - Nursery Rhyme

A nickel and dime 
Had lost their shine 
When they slipped into the old couch in the parlor 

Their paths have been crossed 
When they both had got lost 
When they were exchanged from change of a dollar 

The dime and the nickel 
Still both in a pickle 
But they know they'll be found in due time

But until they do 
They'll stick together like glue 
Until they get found and cleaned from their grime
