My Shoes

In my shoes Always walking in my shoes. one step two steps one giant step never the same pair my shoes are what keep me from walking into a wall following every sign down this echo-less hall my shoes, come in every size, shape and color and what's is a walk without shoes the walk will get long, and rough my shoes have a tie that bond with no other you never know where they might take you There's only one way to find out! Enemies of mine, can't find my size. right foot left foot Who are they really? I lose a pair, I gain a pair Who really cares! boundaries to cross boundaries to lead boundaries all around boundaries on each stepping sound Thin ice walking on egg shells no matter the lies dull heels upon a winter canvas sky my size your taste my shoes take me there, the excitement the knowledge nothing compares my shoes know the answer to every question you want to know my shoes at times skip towards the rainbow my shoes walk in my dreams my shoes are every where, except right here sleepwalking and crying Deja vu tired of walking in someone else's shoe I've walked there before, I'm there now the mud under my shoes, tell a story where I eat where I sleep the dirt on the top, are swept when I weep. they eat just like me all the massive energy I store we talk and we walk they listen, they carry me my shoes have no mask, they are rugged and non-stop sometimes my shoes get me to the top your shoes are running to my comfort zone your shoe, my shoe have a heart beat your shoes, my shoes ever so sweet. your shoes are like my shoes just different feet Your shoes, are not my shoes they fit me real small when it comes to my shoes Why wear them at all? by;pd

Putting it on paper reflects the passing time. And it is never a waste when it is done in rhyme. We sit down to the table and write till hearts content. And when we read what we have written, we're not sure what we meant. The mind don't mind if we understand. It just enjoys the connection to the hand.

Hmmmm Yes shoes tell a lot about a person. Your special style, type, etc. Your particular taste. Also metaphorically to walk in someone else's shoes can be very uncomfortable yet we should never judge others unless we have done that. Good job here. God Bless, JB

There was a music that I loved. It was the prettiest one I had. One day I desided to give it to April. It played, You light up my life. I got it back when we had to go move her stuff out of her house. And the other day early in the morning, one note. And a few seconds later the tune that makes the phrase. I got scared but thanked God anyway. John

Just had a conversation with my uncle who retired from the shoe business after many years in the business. My late father used to say - You think shoes are not important but they are. I used to go to dance club whre poeple had to take off their shoes and dance in front of a mirror! Keep wearing those ruby slippers. Best Matthew Anish

Kkkkk this was wonderful!!! It almost gave me a shoe fetish and made me want to come to your house and steal a pair of your shoes. But alas, your too far away. I loved the way you did this with so much thought. So many things I never thought of. For this you get a 7.

Shoes are shoes we use when needed. They are used for our benefit in different styles. Last four lines clear that unfit are not worn at all. Enjoyed the poem of your shoes, bl
