Do you know,
You can melt your shoes?
I bet your mother never told you that!
So, I will tell you now,
Rubber melts when held to the fire.
The fire gobbles up the shoes into a puddle that is flat,
Then you'll have to explain,
Why you need a new pair.
Again!
Your sister throws one of your shoes away,
Says it stinks,
Needs to go away!
My dog comes trotting by,
My shoe in his mouth,
To hide nearby!
The shoestrings broke,
On my left shoe.
Don't have any more that are new and blue.
So, mom has heard it all,
And walks with me down the hall.
Opening my closet door wide,
We both take a look,
At what's inside.
A pile of shoes,
Side to side,
Not any match with some too wide.
All of them have been slightly worn,
None of them are torn.
Still have good wear.
Mom says," You have plenty of shoes, pull out two that fit!
For the summer at least,
You need to make do!"
"When school starts in the fall,
We will start with a new pair of shoes."
So now I have learned how to make do.
Taking a shoe and boot out of the closet,
I fit one to the left,
And one to the right.
I wonder how long this pair will last?
Before they take flight!
Once upon a time but not so long ago,
A man sat by a pond dangling his big toe.
A rather large fish enjoying his daily swim,
Noticed the mans big toe that kept enticing him.
The man saw the fish as he sauntered by,
He wanted that tasty fish and he must fry.
His pole already baited was lying by his foot,
When he picked it up it landed in the brook.
The fish all laughed at him when his worm escaped,
There would be no dinner on the poor mans plate.
The moral of this story goes something like this..
If your efforts are lazy you'll never achieve a thing,
Like trying to lace your shoes without shoestrings.
l. it was seven octobers of knowing you
through refrains of musk earth and rosette skies ,
we lay with hands outstretched
under a family of flowering trees
riddled with moonlit pearls
feasting on legs entwined, laughing at shared tears.
we were everywhere,
between the falling of leaves and rising of our gazes,
the twilight fondling our fragrant tresses sweet
ll. and so it is,
at some absent place, at some errant time
with strains of our song “lost in space”,
you dashing off with your shoestrings
that meant , “maybe, i no longer care”…
yet, those screeches of madness turned
to wrapping of hands in prayer,
the midnights dark with rattling trees and shared tears
lll. and still, , deep upon our soul's abiding request
we blazed our torches rafting with angels’ praise
through refrains of musk earth and rosette skies,
we vow to sacred, godly rites
that flames in the wilderness will never cry.
yellow roses upon my feet, goddess of dawn
and saint of peace,
there is a lifetime of octobers gathering budding seeds,
if we feel that what is,
can be golden discovery weekends indeed.
