She was merely a few pennies away from freedom, from life, and from everything. There was a cold, dark feeling surfacing from the bottom of the ocean in her heart and she gulped, tears springing to her eyes. I was so close, she thought.
Her friend glanced apologetically at her. “Sorry, Tammy. Guess I’ll have to go to the mountains by myself, huh?” She smiled a sort of half smile and boarded the train.
In the cold, harsh night, Tammy watched the train disappear out of sight.

Penny for your thoughts?
I’m thinking about Jayme and why he wont love me.
I’m better than Rhiannon.
I’d like to think I am anyway
I’m not.
I miss him.
I think I’m going to be alone forever.
Fuck this.
Why do I choose everything thats bad for me?
Q
He asked for a penny. I only had a quarter. Would that due? No, it had to be a penny. How about a nickel. Ok but I still need a penny. Where can I find one?
anne
nickle, quarter, dime, dollar, copper, zinc money
anne
five worth a dime and a name
worth more than that if you love her but
if you don’t pick them up you’ll
never really know though
can’t pick up every one of em either.

Penny for you thoughts. Penny candy, penny pretzel. Most basic of currency. The start of it all. costs more to make than it’s worth. Do away with it and lose tax revenue.

“Penny for your thoughts?”
She sidles up to me in the way she does. Glides, really. I’ve wished for her grace more times than I can count.
“Thinking of my place in the world,” I respond, and she smiles.

a penny for your thoughts — what does that mean? what is a penny really worth today? why are there names after penny but not dime or quarter? who decided that the penny’s material and color should be copper and brown?

A item that you see on the floor and pick up, the reason why people have piggy banks, the essence of all wealth, how many of these thing do you find laying round the house, toll money on the turnpike

See a penny pick it up; or so they say. I need more than a damned penny. Do you know I only clear $500/week? That’s not a lot; even if you break it into pennies.

Penny for your thoughts, but a dollar for your insights
Find a penny, pick it up, all day long, you’ll have good luck!
A penny farthing just went through the KFC drive through, I kid you not!
Fancy a shiny penny?

pennies are copper coins that are in my opinion utterly worthless. when i get pennies, i throw them away. i imagine that you could make a fortune just by collecting all the pennies i throw away in a year. i should probably stop doing that, just like i should stop biting my nails. however, its a bad habit that i just cant seem to break.

WHich side of a penny is the lucky side. I think i just say its whatever side is facing up. So as it turns out, just by picking up a penny its lucky. Although you cant buy anything with it.

She’s his toy, really – bright and shiny and clean-edged and new. Her brassy tongue makes his spine jolt with static. She’s metallic, electric, and he’s never been this lucky before.

Every penny spent in this university has gone to waste. Or not maybe. I can’t say that I’ve had the ideal education, but the people I’ve met and the friendships I’ve developed are worth every penny. More accurately, they are priceless. Now that I probably have to pitch out all the pennies left for the design project, it may not be so fun after all…but we’ll see where these pennies lead us.

ON the AP English 3 exam we HAD to write about pennies and whether or not we should,as a country,get rid of them. I don’t know what the effff I wrote about,BUT as a document/example for you to use as evidence THEY HAD A PICTURE OF A GD PENNY!!!!nice.
MMARINA!!!!!!!
A bright copper penny lying in my palm. It may not be worth much now, but once you could buy a piece of candy, or some food, or even a toy. A shiny new penny was a wonderful birthday gift for a child. Once. But now, the penny is worth nothing, forgotten in time.
Jenna
i hate pennys because they take uop so much space but they really arent worth that much, plus, surely it costs almost a penny to actually make a penny, why cant it just be abolished and we can have normal amounts instead of this shit
adam
A peeny saved is a penny earned. At least that’s what they say, right? Who really knows what really happens to a penny you save. You only really get what you’ve earned once you spend it.
jJ
a penny is worth a thousand words in my opinion. a picture is worth more. words are cheap, words are common. pennies are cheap and common as well, but honestly, who looks at them? after age five you don’t even bother bending down to pick one up anymore. how sad.
molly
Pennies are awesome. Why not use five pennies instead of your usual nickel. Or dare I say, ten instead of a dime. I miss Penny candy, It’s just great
Ashley Fincannon
has the penny finally dropped – I hope so!
andythrobber
shiny little thing in the middle of the street
bent to pick it up with near my feet
but it slipped and rolled down the drain
and all that effort, left me in vain
all this pain over a little shiny thing
just a piece of- small little bling.
ok, sorry penny, i got to go
couldn’t pick you up oh woe!

“Find a penny, pick it up. All day long, you’ll have good luck.”
I remembered this as a tiny piece of copper caught my attention. I picked it up, of course. As I lifted my head, I became blinded as I beheld the nuclear explosion.

the penny old and green was stuck to the arm of the park bench — saturated in the mist of a freshfallen rain and she stared at it curious, wondering how many wishes had been whispered into the smooth copper before its final destination was forged and it was forgotten, eyed only by passerby and those wanting rest. people forget to be wishful in a world without hope.

Pennys. They seem so small. Only one cent. Can’t buy much, right? Wrong. People look to pennys as a form oh luck, of hope. We see a shiny penny on the ground, and check if it’s heads up, if so, it
s considered lucky. So before you just toss another penny aside, stop to think about it.
Mandy
they say when you save a penny you earn a penny. i always save my pennies but really, they seem to just get in the way. i always have way too many and i get annoyed with them.
katie
I like pennies. I don’t know the color in contrast to the other coins is just nice. Pennies are a nice warm copper. I just get a better feeling about them. I really like a song I learned in elementary school about pennies. It’s called Magic Penny. It goes “love is like a magic penny. Hold it tight and you won’t have any…” and so on.

pennies. i hate them. they are the tonsils of america. useless, don’t serve a purpose. let’s get rid of them. won’t cause as big of a stink as people think. don’t round the price of every item in a store, just the final price. the most you could lose on a trip to the store is 4 cents.

I picked the penny up of the street. It glittered a bit in the darkness, as if it held the moon on its flat surface. I looked behind me, suspicios almost, but I was the sole occupent of the corner. The penny was unwanted, abandoned and now claimed. I placed in gently in my pocket and strolled guiltily on, wondering if anyone noticed the slightly dimmer gleam of the moon.

A penny for your thoughts, a nickel for your kiss. These were the words to a song we used to jam out too as we would drive around Kirkland looking for boys to flirt with. I always wondered why the thoughts were so much cheeper then the kiss.

Small and shiny, it glittered like gold on the pavement. I thought I was rich when I gazed upon it several yards away, but now I realize I’m not a dollar richer. Still I pick it up and place it in my pocket.
Maybe I’ll use it another day.

I keep a box of all the lucky pennies I find. A penny achieves lucky status simply by being found heads side up. I probably have about a hundred of them. Lots of times I think about what I could buy with them, but then I get kind of sad remembering that you can’t get too much with just a dollar.
