I’ll try my hand at every kind of rhyme; I find that they can help to prime the mind. Though oft when I should have abstained, I’ve tried, and ended up, knots in my brain, tongue-tied. When that occurs, you must unlace your shoe, and try again to thread it through. ---------- the Shoe Laces form is an 11 line poem, 8/2/8/2/8/2/8/2/8, with a rhyme scheme of...

Shoe Laces And I Amidst my elementary schooled years, Occasioned a one-timed event for me, An age calls upon myself and my peers, Of Hawaiian descent set by decree. We were to attend a week-long event, Slipper years ended with my first laced shoes, Lacing my shoes was a taxing torment, PG-8, our living room, win or lose. It was on another island, all...

Why can’t I tie my laces right, why can’t I tie them good? I always get them in a muddle, by not doing what I should. The first part I can do but the bow is where I fail, I get the laces in a twist and cannot thus prevail. I told my best friend Sammy James that...

Your starting to undo my heart laces again All of the string is coming undone again. You pulled at the lace and my heart fluttered away like a butterfly and then my heart started to race My heart started pounding like a drum, my pulse was racing, like it had never done. My heart laces have come undone, You pulled at the...

I've been walking these them streets; Trippin and fallin; Skinned my elbow and knees; Lying on my back lookin at the trees; Wondering will any body come and help me; Guess I've wouldn't have fallen; If my shoe laces were tied; Guess I'm payin my dues; Trippin off laces of untied shoes; 5/4/18 written words by James Edward Lee Sr. Copyright © 2018...

Life lost in saline streams Straining to see Possibilities in reams and streams Crane to love me Although I desire nothing unproven In the world I grapple to save From madness and sadness woven In webs only the brave Dare to challenge In the open where nerves Bent on revenge Achieve rubbish that serves No useful purposes In improving prospects For souls that befriend porpoises Upon finding at their...

The Shoes with the Flat, Black Laces Blue; aquamarine to be specific With flat, black laces Tie them on and try to keep pace with My dreams, goals, and vision. Every January is different But the same. Goal: lose 40 pounds, gain strength to astound My world—athletes, family, friends but really just me. No one cares, no stares But 26.2 is a hill...

An ordinary young man in his twenties Working by day, alone by night Routine lulls him to feel forever serene Never a new dream or fantasy Living an obligation Making his parents proud yet nothing causes him to become too loud Drab clothes Make him an easy target for his many foes Friends don’t know his name Except for those who know him as...

A line of loafers march in step, through halls of granite and of pearl. A rare and vaunted holy sept, heels all clicking, toes unfurled. Through halls of granite and of pearl, briefcases locked by secret code, heels all clicking, toes unfurled, two by two, sixteen all told. Briefcases locked by secret code, the minting men on orders high. Two by two, sixteen all told, Thirty-two...

For dream is a thing with laces That embraces the sheath with its linen fingers And caresses the surface down to the core Where pleasure perches and is ready to soar. And the laces mingle with gentle strokes of hope As the rainbow of colors sprinkles them with gold Then the fibers of bliss fabricated in the lyre Come strumming in gratefulness...

I would like to trim this with laces And trace your lips slowly (if I wouldn't wake you) The early morning's cool air Cheering birds and bright light Always seem to keep you asleep And me, a dash happy sentimental Hanging ornaments somewhere in my mind Having found a home and charm Wide awake under your arm...
