Notes About The Poem

Dead Converse AllStar Shoe

 

- Dancing Shoes, No Thanks -

- Dancing Shoes, No Thanks -


For me to make a choice is easy
Freedom for my little toes

Not shiny or high heels
No catwalks or dance floor I seek

Sore toes and heels create nightmares
I choose the color red, just because it is cool

You can borrow my shoes for a day and two
So give them your time and give them your heart

No problem to walk mil after mil
It is the easiest thing

I doubted if you ever
would come back

Cool poem, Anne-Lise. I can go w/the freedom for the toes all day long. I walk around in sandals all day everyday. Gotta give them toes and feet comfort, right. Love the poem though. Love and blessings.

Is that a baby buzzard standing close to your shoe? Not sure if I'll need to borrow those. But I loved the poem...

I appreciate the offer, Anne-Lise, But I think I'll keep these. They're already broken in. This is another witty and clever write from you. The last couplet is pure gold!
