You'Re Just The Lost Loose Change Of My Life! Poem by Dónall Dempsey
You'Re Just The Lost Loose Change Of My Life!
Your love
was worth millions
but as the Royal Mint
admitted
it is like the lost loose change
of Britain
(apparently there's
£26 million of it)
just lying about
... out there
... somewhere.
So far, I have picked up
£6 and nine pence worth of you.
What a great put down...not too harsh yet hits the point that she was just not worth it. I enjoyed the conceit and how you turned that simple knowledge(I too read the same little news story) and how it became a meditation of the loss of a love...that although in potential was priceless...could never be collected!

This is a real treasure i found here in this poem lying under thousend (more then 1300!) other poems - i like the metaphor about the lost loose change somewhere and the devaluation of love, worth millions once... I carry on reading you backwards.
