If These Shoes Could Talk

The streets are chilly cold on rubble stone The sky covers me for the wind has blown The stars my guest within my humble zone My shoes rest the night for they have sewn Two pairs hanging in my homeless throne Take one if you are less than me a bitter bone Walk proud my fallen friend so we may prone Under the heterodox heavens as we walk alone July.27.2017 TWO PAIR OF SHOES -Contest Sponsored by: John lawless

It is poetry like this that I come here to read WW! I was moved by the picture, by the music(I love "Pavarotti), but most of all by your harliquin words that paint a stunning tapestry beyond the kind of comment I can do justice. A Fave! : )
