Shoes

The theme is quite difficult, might be time to catapult but wait... Every noun has its day High-heeled or feng-shui Athletic, prosthetic, flip-floppy Misty, my darling your toenails a-sparkling rise up, dodge that train, walk away. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My name is Nancy The name of the contest is "In the Afterglow" thanks, nette, for the inspiration!

Oh, dang. Withdrawn and thanks for the point-out. I so suck at rules (unless they're mine, of course)

I like this, Nancy. Just one thing. I thought it was a triolet contest. Did she change the rules? Other than that, it is a darling write!

What a delightful way you approached this theme, Nancy. Had to laugh at the "catapult" and the dodging of the train is what we'd like that girl to do. Really liked your comment on Deb G.'s blog, Nancy. Very insightful. Best wishes in the contest! Love, Carolyn
