Point of View

Place two coins over my eyes
like tarnished copper shutters

obstructing windows of my soul
I cannot see beyond self worth
to fathom value of your mind

Staring, with one eye open
Here's a penny for your thoughts

Garner twice penance from closed lid
See life last with both eyes open
and risk my two cents rejected

I loved this piece, great work. So much is said in a few short verses. This one caught my eye because I remember reading some of your work under my old pen-name a year or so ago. Glad to see some familiar authors are still here, keep up the good work.

I agreed with you originally Bucho, I didn't like the 1st and 3rd lines of the second stanza because of the repetition of "soul"...i changed the last word to mind to keep along the same train of thought and avoid repetition...i also completely rewrote the first line of the last stanza...i liked the original line, but didn't feel that it tied lines 7 & 9 together...thanks for the input
