Welcome to Penny Poems & Dime Rhymes

Some poems arrive all dressed up and ready for company. Others show up wearing muddy boots and asking what’s for supper.

The verses gathered here are a little of both.

Some are short Dime Rhymes — quick little bits that popped into my head and refused to leave. Others are Penny Poems — slightly longer pieces with a little more room to stretch their legs.

Most are written simply to bring a smile, a chuckle, or a pleasant thought to carry along with you.

So settle in for a moment and enjoy a few little verses from Honey Hill Country.

Every now and then my brain seems to go in reverse,

And it’s times such as these when I start writing in verse.

Never quite certain whether it’s a blessing or curse,

But keep on hoping it all doesn’t get any worse.

Below are links to the Penny Poems, along with a path leading over to the Dime Rhymes page — a gathering place for short little rhymes, odd thoughts, smiles, and other bits that wandered by and decided to stay awhile.
