Rhonda Johnson-Saunders Poet Sijo

Feet Escape

Heavy feet lighten as tensions wane in warm, bubbling water
The pedicure from a stranger's hands at daybreak - sweet escape
Stress relieved, my feet can carry our burdens, at least for today

Andrea Dietrich February 1, 2012 at 3:59 PM You were a bit like me, talking about water and other things to ease the tension on feet. I love how you showed the importance of "happy feet." Congrats on your win. Rhonda Johnson-Saunders February 1, 2012 at 6:42 PM Yes, nothing better than soaking our poor, tired feet to relieve tension! I remember the first time I had a pedicure many years ago. I thought I wouldn't like someone touching my feet. Boy was I wrong! Congrats to you, too. Blessings, Rhonda
