Today's prompt is to write a poem about something looking at it from different angles. Don't know where I got pennies from...
Penny
Rainy day currency, charming bidder
for thoughts.
Pocket dweller. Wish maker. Luck bringer -
see one, pick it up, all day long...
but they never add up. Declaration
of casual bankruptcy. All-in, all-out.
Yay or nay decider. Flip or flippant.
Value of recognition, sudden tumble of truth.
Minted manna from the heights of heaven -
or heads of state grubbying hands.
Small change, big claims.
Coppered keen circumference
of dreams.
Extinct species now.
