Under Her Sandals

A girl bought sandals She wore them walking On a dirt country road Each step she took was painful The stones were very sharp Her sandals were not made To walk on sharp tiny stones Her feet were painful She felt every tiny rock Under her new sandals

A great poem, Darlene. I have seen this over and over again; pretty sandals, maybe only to walk from the car to the Restaurant and back. Do you remember Bauchenlaum Sandals? Better for walking distances! : ) Have a nice day!

the first line tell me you are an honest and forthright lady, the next 5 reveal the path you have in life, next paragraph reveals that you had not been prepared for life, life's instructors had failed you and the next four are the consequences of being ready for life's adventure...enjoyed your poem, looking forward to more

Your beautiful poem leaves a great reminder for all of us my dear poetess friend Darlene. Wearing sandals when we're going to walk on dirty and rocky road is not a good idea at all. Maybe sport shoes or rubber shoes? Thank you so much for sharing this well-crafted poem of yours my dearest friend. I enjoyed a lot. God bless you always. Hugs.

Your poem reminds me Darlene, of going on an off road walk on holiday, I told one of the group not to wear sandals, but they insisted, next 3 days he could barely leave his room, both his feet had no skin left between sunburn and blisters, Your poem is very truthful and honest with perhaps a moral for us all, cheers David

Hello David Kavangh, many people walk on cobblestones wearing sandals. Those cobblestones sidewalks wearing sandals does hurt the feet. It is a moral for all people. Cheers!! Darlene
