Waiting To Be

Waiting To Be Found

 

I was dropped without a thought,

Beyond the sunlights glistening,

No one cared that I was gone,

Or that I now was missing. 

 

No poster fashioned for the cause,

To join me back to home,

No prayer offered for my loss,

No whaling cries or moans.

 

From where I am I can see,

So many passing by,

My screams all must be silent,

From the spot to which I lie.

 

Devalued by inflations grip,

It's happened to so many,

No one sees the value in,

The worthless lone lost penny

    WELCOME FRIEND - Great first poem - love the denouement in the last line ! Love the structure of your poem ~ Four neat quatrains and a consistent rhyme pattern (xaxa xbxb etc). Easy to read nice to recite. Love the contents there was a time (not so long ago) that finding a PENNY would seem like a treasure trove now most people would even ignore a SHILLING (5 pence). Money has lost its charm and (for many) life has lost it glitter. Thanks for caring - even about a PENNY ! Yours BRIAN

      "Worthless lone lost penny",
      I found you!
      This last phrase deserves all the money in the world....
      Keep Writing.
