Barbara Gorelick Poet Free verse

Life and Footwear

Booties on tiny feet
                                                           
Skipping in new white tennies

Wobbling in first high heels

Gliding in wedding slippers
                         
Chasing kids in sensible flats

Arthritic fingers and velcro straps

...   No shoes needed in the after- life

Carolyn Devonshire March 25, 2010 at 1:22 PM Very witty, Barbara. I haven't seen any shoes painted on angels' feet in pictures. I like the progression from the "booties" to the "velcro straps." Nicely done, Barbara! Love, Carolyn
