I relish the composure of evening
Which slithers far into hidden  places
That beyond  uptown’s  jarring noise,
I kick off my voguish  high heels
And  wander through burst of evergreen:

A quiet grove where young leafage nestles
To soothe my breath with deepened ease,
That  flinging these tight cocktail stilettos
Allow a body-mind  to unleash after 6 pm toil
In Nuvali Park where birds scuttle by…

How rhythmic  the air,  its honeyed waft lifts
Enticing a need for wanton barefoot prance;

As  I feast on thrilled leisure of being shoeless.

Nicely done Nette--especially liked the first 2 lines. Good luck in the contest [ I had no idea what night shoes were].

High heel that had so much appeal and could not believe was really real.

Relishing the freedom from restraint...ahh i know the feeling, not from stilettos, but from a pair of brand new shoes which i put on to travel in straight after buying them! HUgs // paul

I would skip the stilletos and barefoot it all the way home, Nette. Guess I'm showing my age now. But, I did wear them once upon a time, when I was young and wanted to shine. Love xo
