Poem: The Golden Penny by nnqkbzv184: 5:55pm On Mar 30, 2023 |
Lonely, for ten months only Rossy found a golden fairy Coldly, for it was snowy She asked for a golden penny Flapping its large, scary wings It says, "You don't have heart for this!" "Who cares for a heart?" she says "Worry not for a cunning fox" New, was the golden penny Rossy got from the golden fairy Sadly, for it was borrowed The fairy asked for a hollow "Promise to keep this secret," It says, "follow the open street" She kissed and hid its penny Like a dumb nun from Chang's Hong Kong "I'll follow no damn hollow!" dumb Rossy smiles at her looming sorrow "My treasure, you're so precious!" But it's just a moment's pleasure She flipped and flipped it twelve times a day until the fairy's punchline, "That penny was your paradise, the hollow your la la land!" Rossy peeps through the hollow and sorrows for there's no more tomorrow "Give me but one more chance, please," she languished in pain and anguish "Lavish me with river full of tears or vanish to Liverpool! "You think with your head, not your heart! "You had one chance but missed it!" |
