Notes About The Poem

Written April 18 2026

So long Stilettos

Had a funeral for old stilettos today 
Piled them up in a bag to give away
My toes rejoice at the amicable divorce 
Happy to escape aching feet of course 
Missing only the the pro of added height
And feeling sexy only for navy neon night
Red bottoms traded for my comfortable shoes
Better for my health with only pain to lose

So long to Stilettos, Karen I agree, comfort before agony in the feet. A delightful read… Beryl
