Cracked blacktop, dirty, gritty ones,
From muddy gutter water ones,
Surprising, under sidewalk shoes
Seen but left, for whom to choose.
Sunny, windswept, sanded ones,
Streetlight neon-flashing ones,
Coppershiny ones in pairs,
Paired with quarters on the stairs.
Mostly next are tiny dimes,
Found in moonlight's guiding ray.
Then, at least expected times,
A lonely dollar greens the day.
Oh! The grateful thanks in taking,
Ah! Love's hopes are not forsaken.

Funny, at first glance I thought that said RENNIES from heaven. =)
ReplyDeleteShe is, she is! I just printed out that picture of her twirling in front of the Waterlilies. I'm going to check the detail I showed my art class--I think it was the very same painting you showed her at the same time!
ReplyDeleteohhh...I will look at found (or maybe lost) pennies with such a warm feeling from now on.
ReplyDeleteDo you know about the heads-up rule? If you find a penny heads-up, pick it up and you will have good luck all day. If you find a penny heads-down, turn it over and leave it there so that the next person can find it heads-up and get the good luck!
ReplyDeleteOh! That's a neat idea. Eh wee pot-o'-gold paed farward. :o)
