he wears a pair of sneakers

Of       flowed down
Her fingers.
It dripped into a
Red puddle around her
Beat-up sneakers....

Hazed, dazed in a fog
Pain is not always the case.......
Seekers are sneakers

Nike sneakers are the best
They are better than the rest
Beautiful colors
Sexy water-colors
Dressed up with fly sneakers, you have zest...

thrown overnight on the floor
waiting lazily just  for 
another chance at glory

My sneakers made me jump high
All the way into the sky
Suddenly, the wind knocked me down
All the way into the ground
That cause the Shi to pass me by...

Myrtle, the sea turtle
Wore a sports girdle. 
With green sneakers shoes.
She ran a fast race
Won for style first place.
Went viral, millions of views....

The noisy squeaks are just another sign
of sneakers of the running kind
my random thought
again has crossed
the street in my quagmired mind

atop the bench
   mouths open
   tongues yet panting
   sweat-soaked
   disheveled laces
   the sneakers
   had given it their all
     ~ almost died crying...

My basketball sneakers could make me fly
In fourth grade I could jump so high
I wasn't the best on the team
But I was in my dream
With those shoes, I swear I could touch the sky....

They're old, they're ugly, they're falling apart.

Had them forever, they're part of my heart.

They're comfy and old

And to me, pure gold

And if you throw them out, a fight WILL start....

I could never run like this when I was a chick
So saying, the rooster ran down the highway quick
You are wearing sneakers! An old timer said, so great!
Alas, a semi came over the hill fast, sealing the rooster’s fate....

Walking in the local YMCA 
Onyx sneakers ready to slay
Reality red I’ll workout today
Kinda teal tired still I will stay
On the bike and lifting weights
Unisex rooms everyone is great
Thigh muscles cry get in shape

Feet

My big feet contain 
the best ideas or 
qualities of 
how to deal with 
unrestrained partial, total, and 
complete authority. 
There’s just enough 
skin shed from 
my feet to 
enable my feet to 
fit in my 
extra small sneakers.

Cletus O'Toole was a whiz 'mongst streakers

   And the darling of 'exposure'-seekers

      He was a down-right nuisance

         But due to cops' impuissance*

            He raced 'round town in just socks and sneakers

*Inability to act...

swing alone, heavy branch
golden tone, sneakers scranch

in falling…enhancement 
of sprawling-enchantment

leafing deep, Autumn’s rush
two foot leap, noontime hush

Needed some sneakers
So went to a store
But nobody shops
In a store anymore.

Salesfolk approached me;
No customers shopped.
Prices were discounted,
Then again chopped.

Left with a purchase – 
A new sneaker pair,
But wonder how long
That same store will be there....

Sneakers or shoes
sometimes I'm confused
what is proper attire
does this event require.

Follow society norms
just to conform
or be kind to my feet
perhaps taking some heat.

So I've chosen informal
not considered as normal
yes, it's sneakers I'll wear
because I really don't care!...

My Worst Gift

My dad’s a lifelong villain
But I’m the one that’s sorry
Cos this year all my presents fell
off the back of a lorry

I didn’t get computer games
Or snazzy hi-tech sneakers
I got a dozen refugees
And six asylum seekers

And They’re Off

His words
worn sneakers soundlessly
pound the parchment
of life
leaving faint imprint
on passing
flowing
in seemingly effortless
struggle
lost
in the acrid fury
of the starters
pistol.
