Night Shoes

Night shoes, flashy white shoes
Dancing shoes, to jazz or blues

Fancy shoes -- purple, orange or pink
Hypnotize night eyes, blink-and blink-a-blink

Sleek shoes, pointy-toed, pinched-waist narrow
Worn with Italian suits or by urban caballeros

Night shoes go out and paint the town
Lift you way high up ~ never bring you down

Your shoes are jumping around in a disco, but wait, I thought they closed back in 1995. Liked this a bunch!

Hmmm. Really. No wonder I can't find anywhere to do the 'disco duck.' LOL. ~ Mr. Donald Summers, Jr.

My dear friend, how about two comments in the same night..?! :)) I was swept up in the flashy, fancy and fantastic spirit of your wonderful poem, Gershon. Can't help but smile! Best wishes for a win and warmest wishes for you.. ~Susan

O, Susan! I am overcome with joy by the abundance of your commentary. This truly is a night to remember for me. May 14 will forever be etched in my heart as The Night that Susan Went to Town!!!! (Joan Baez, anyone?!) LOL. Thank you so much, my special friend. And go ahead. Make it three. Why not? ~ gw
