  1. IN the middle of a sidewalk in davis california, not even just davis, but carlsbad, california as well as many other citites in the state and out ofit, most probably in every city in america, if not multiple times in a city, there is a penny glued to the ground, fooling people into thinking theyve either run into a stroke of good luck or a fraction of richness.

  3. it’s shiny and new, this penny I found. I pick it up, put it in my pocket. save it for a rainy day. It’s sunny now. such a contrast to the way I feel. It hasn’t been easy, getting up, moving on with out your good luck. It’s funny. How life works like that. How I can cry. But how something as simple as the penny can make our lives so much better.

  6. find a penny make a wish. but only if it’s heads up. a penny for your thoughts. but are my thoughts worth that much? somedays. but not very often do I have thoughts that might interest other people. pretzels or chips? who care! I like quarters better than pennys.

  9. Misfortune is installed in my fate,
    my luck has never been that great.

    Chance not in my favor anymore,
    a hardship I try to ignore.

    Everyday it’s all the same,
    on a tails-up penny I place the blame.

  11. penny is a copper piece of money
    it rhymes with my name, jenny
    its an object that gets over looked
    but yet is very valuable
    some think it wont exist for too much longer
    but then what will do with all those pennys
    recycle them into a monument maybe?

  12. pennies sit in the bottom of my piggy bank, the unwanted innards, the disgusted insides of an unclean animal. iron to the taste, cold to the touch, acid to the eyes.

  13. pennies are money they are simple types of money only used for inexpensive items. because pennies are not worth much they are essentially useless so many nations have adopted pennyless monetary systems. this seems to work well for them but it is not necessarily the only option. in the future it might be that physical money is almost never used, in which case it matters not how inconvenient pennies are but just that the unit of cent exists.

  15. The small, copper penny my mom gave me held more power than anything else in the world. If you throw it in the well and make a wish, she told me, it’ll make it come true. All of your wildest dreams could come true with just one penny.

    I closed my eyes, threw my arm back, and dreamed.

  19. A penny for your thoughts? I asked her.
    I got so much more than I bargained for. I was brought to tears by those thoughts of hers. I tried to imprint them on my mind, so that I would never be without them. Those thoughts made me feel. I wasn’t expecting it. If I had been, I would have offered more than a penny.

  22. I dont particularly like pennies, but I think they get a bad rap. They don’t do much good. They pile up everywhere. I get annoyed when I only have pennies and I need a quarter, but don’t hate on them. They’re useful…kind of.

  23. a penny is the smallest unit of american currency. it represents 1/100 of a dollar. Today the penny is practically useless. it has lost its value due to general inflation. Today people often round to the nearest “silver” coin.

  25. I threw pennies into a fire
    and watched the flames flicker green;
    it made me smile
    and miss you and that time
    we threw our entire collection of pennies
    [accumulation of relationship]
    into a bonfire
    and watched those ghostly flowers
    before our goodbye.

  28. I don’t have nearly enough of these. It seems I spend an awful lot of time attempting to accumulate them by their thousands, trillions if I’m lucky. I suppose in some ways, it’s an ages old, eternal quest. Maybe it’s the root of all evil, maybe not, but we all want it for some reason.

  32. “A penny for your thoughts”
    is a silly overused phrase I want to say to you
    because I know you’d laugh
    [I’m not the type to use such phrases, and you know]
    and maybe you would tell me
    what goes on in that crazy head of yours.

    Penny. The only girl that succeeded in taming him.

  36. the lowest form of denomination in the US. it is so meaningless these days, it should probably stop being made. but the iconic nature of its bronzen facets are just too much for the stubborn american to relent.
