Coins clatterpocket chatter
splitting through
the walls of matter
straight in my ears
out through my eyes
a jangling jingle
in disguise.
Yesterday I chalked the first two lines of this poem as part of my Chalk-A-Day for #nerdlution on Twitter. I thought I would expand on it and think more about what I was visualizing when I wrote those first two lines. In the spirit of the season, a jingle bell came into play, but it didn't stay.
Love 'pocket chatter'! Fun poem :).
ReplyDeletePocket chatter can tell you so much. I remember having coins in my pocket telling me I could buy some penny candy, and more recently, keys in my pocket telling me I could get back in the house!
ReplyDeleteA fun beginning! I had visions of the Salvation Army kettle!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun. I wonder what that pocket chatter said, coin to coin.
ReplyDeleteYou could almost do a whole series with the topic of pocket chatter, Betsy! Much fun to hear it (I read it out loud!).
ReplyDeleteThis is a great jingle, Betsy. Loved it! And Linda's right, it's perfect for a read-aloud.
ReplyDeletePocket chatter - love this!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the others, Betsy-- there's so many places one could take "pocket chatter" -- I hope you're inspired to do so. Would love to read more!
