Look so long through loupe
Eyes blurred, head pounding away
Can't see a darn thing
Some say geeks love coins
I say bring on the geek then
Cuz coins are my life
My wife doesn't get,
How I spend hundreds on cents,
Her eyes roll each time
The more coins I buy
The further in love I fall
With this great hobby

A world without coins
Is a face without a smile
Love without a heart

See a penny, pick
It up. Oh wait, another.
Addiction follows.

(From what I understand, a haiku is to speak of nature.
This is as close to nature as I can get.)
From deep in the earth
Come copper, silver and gold.
A wonder to behold.
Cu, Ag, and
Au, initials fraught with
temptation, welcome!
And unto metals' spell
We do submit ourselves, and
Watch bid prices change.
From day to day, what
Torment feel the metal bugs.
I say, go classic coins.
A chacun son gout.
To each his own. Let's collect
Our heart's desire.

Uncirculated,
Unseen, untouched, a penny
Glistens in its roll.
Edited just to add space between the haiku and this line:
Too bad a penny can't glisten without light...

i dont have 50 posts and I'm not a supporter, but got kind of inspired and wanted to post some, great contest by the way with great prizes,love it!
cannons break the walls
rivers run with roman blood
a coin marks its time
metal struck in fire
a beauty on the surface
so much more inside
yellow shine blinds eyes
the kings metal captures mine
eternal beauty
mystery within
like pirates search for treasure
i hunt in this roll

Here's another in hope of best haiku:
Coins sparkle brightly
I glance into my wallet
Still don't have enough...
Me again, all too often. Hard to buy good coins on allowance =).
Here's another try.
Pocket change jingles.
What coins will I find today?
Behold, wheat pennies!
Once again, personal experience. You can still find the occasional wheat floating around south Texas.
Happy Hunting and good luck to everyone entered!

 to CCF, ryanklaus! Thanks for becoming a Supporter :) You now have 5 entries into the raffle instead of just one, plus your entries for the separate Best Haiku! Reminder: the contest closes for entries tomorrow night (Friday) at midnight EST. The drawing will not take place until Tuesday to allow CCF time to process any Supporter donations-- there is a slight lag between your donation and having 'Supporter' appear under your name and I don't want to short-change anyone in their raffle entries. Plus, I need the weekend to select the Best Haiku. Gonna be tough, wish I could afford to mail out a dozen prizes. |
