Tim Smith Poet Rhyme

Brown Shoes Tapping

Brown shoes tapping  to a tune inside
glances fleeting off a three way mirror  
waiting patiently for a smile to appear

Clock strokes many  bags filled   now heavy
worn eyes gaze windows  day turns to night
carrying more than what's black and white

Colored choices tug at the short skirt of success
Enlightening everyday moments meant to impress 

Brilliant the impromptu pirouettes of a happy soul
Cinderella dreams make even the timid feel whole
