Andrea Dietrich Poet Limerick

Ms Match It

A holder for shoes on my door
is hanging almost to the floor.
Different colors each pair
gives me options to wear
the best match for the clothes I adore.

With at least thirty-four pairs of shoes
it should be rather easy to choose
what to put on my feet,
yet I'm met with defeat
when my dress is a solid chartreuse!

Written Aug 27, 2016 for My Shoes Poetry Contest of Lewis Raynes
*I was given the nickname years ago of Ms Match It
for matching up jewelry, shoes and other accessories to my clothing!

Kai Michael Neumann September 5, 2016 at 10:33 AM Beautifully written. I still think though, that anything goes with anything, all colours of the rainbow combine to white whatever we wear...And I do not even want to go near gender stereotyping. I enjoyed this poem lots.
