Coin

I dropped my coin in the wishing well

Before I could make my wish

My coin was thrown back to land at my feet

My wish, well and truly rejected.

I was not brave enough to see

Who had tossed my coin back at me

Could be the ghost of the wishing well,

Telling me to make a better wish?

I left the coin where it fell, telling

The ghost in the well to go to hell…
