I relish the composure of evening Which slithers far into hidden places That beyond uptown’s jarring noise, I kick off my voguish high heels And wander through burst of evergreen: A quiet grove where young leafage nestles To soothe my breath with deepened ease, That flinging these tight cocktail stilettos Allow a body-mind to unleash after 6 pm toil In Nuvali Park where birds scuttle by… How rhythmic the air, its honeyed waft lifts Enticing a need for wanton barefoot prance; As I feast on thrilled leisure of being shoeless. ------- For Lu Loo's I Got A Darn Na Again Poetry Contest Re-entered 6/13/2019 ............................ From a previous challenge, Night Shoes 5/18/2019

Nicely done Nette--especially liked the first 2 lines. Good luck in the contest [ I had no idea what night shoes were].

High heel that had so much appeal and could not believe was really real.

Relishing the freedom from restraint...ahh i know the feeling, not from stilettos, but from a pair of brand new shoes which i put on to travel in straight after buying them! HUgs // paul

I would skip the stilletos and barefoot it all the way home, Nette. Guess I'm showing my age now. But, I did wear them once upon a time, when I was young and wanted to shine. Love xo

Some beautiful wording...wandering through a burst of evergreen, quiet grove of ivy and Nuvali Park where birds scuttle by!
