Yellow umbrellas shall rise
And weasel shaped dimes...

Lost to a whole of fate fades

I could spend on a dime.
Everything wine and cherry time.
Deep fellow of mine.
Oh it feels like a crime.
Here is Ten Dimes....

First they closed the five-and-dimes
           Now they're closing malls
        Is it Amazon or lazy customers
           That precipitates this fall...

Listen to poem:

What lies between the lines?
mines, rocks, thoughts, ideas, 
dreams, failures, memories, dimes?
A story left unread
A speech left unsaid
A fish alive not dead....

Now, there once was this boy from the hood,
Who did everything that he could,
To get away with crimes,
For just nickels and dimes,
Until he got sent to jail for good....

First we had ‘Pennies from Heaven’
         Then it was the ‘March of Dimes’

True love will manifest itself over time
It’s not measured by dollars, cents, nickels or dimes
Love is not pushed, pulled or coerced
It is there through the good and survives the worst...

Lean Times
When times are lean and mean I have to conserve
I rely on pocket change in reserve
Like pennies, dimes and quarters
Times like these I might loiter
Anything to fill my tank and preserve...

Ancient architecture absolutely blows my mind
With the limited resources available at the time
To accomplish such beauty
Was a feather in their tutti
Quite impressive but must've cost lotsa dimes...

Dimes.

Materialistic s**t.

Business buildings

Filled with

Empty yieldings

And fake grit.

Human robots

With no feelings

Except believing

Power and dimes

Is all that

Exists.

Concrete....

Rolling change while reading poetry
Frustrating rolls
Frustrating words
Forty nickels
Forty syllables
Fifty dimes
Fifty lines
If I only had a quarter
For every word I read
I could have many rolls of pennies
And many pomes read...

quarters disappear
dimes and nickels gone too
people are accused

their collection is growing
partners in crime

grandmother sleeps
she has made a mistake
her ring is in nest...

Why does Hawaii have an interstate highway?
and why do the Flintstones celebrate Christmas anyway?

Why do I continue acting weird, asking stupid questions all of the time?...

For your sins
cheaters
clickers
unbelievers
nineteen crimes
peddling dimes

Now I have risen
from the broth
carry on dear soupsters
until I decide
is all for naught
in silence
I reign
King Arthur
fear not
my heartbroken devils...
