The Sneakers
The sneakers, on the wall arrayed
With heightened soles, make me afraid
They won’t be comfortable at all
Or worse, they might just make me fall.
When styles appear that seem improved
And expectations might have moved,
The target audience is young,
Which I do not belong among.
Nobody cares what I might buy
And thus, that is the reason why
When searching for a

My Sneakers
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

All Stars
Don’t you see the skip of my jolly heels,
skipping about the globe while planting stars?
Ask then from mother earth what joy she feels
When my rubber sole and her corners spar.
In offices, they don brogues and loafers,
See me jolly hop with sparkled laces.
My Chuck 70’s turn suits to gophers,
Gentlemen grimace and grow grey faces.
I know jealous

Sleep Sneakers
With soft hushed slip-steps
They creep into my being
My sleepy mind preps
For all the things I’m seeing
They are the sleep sneakers
That invade in the night
Restlessness seekers
That dance without the light
The tales of dreary dreams
Show terror, fear or love
But Sleep sneakers seem
To form fit like a glove
There is no themed story
The meanings are unclear
There’s doubt without glory
Just

Sneakers
Broke my running shoes,
Ruined my day to be honest,
Now I gotta go down to the shoe store and listen to some cretin tell me what shoes I should be wearing,
As I arrived, a young man approached me and immediately starts dribbling on about the weight of each shoe,
"Midsole foams on this Nike now make a

Sneakers
When I started to jog
Back in ‘75
(When so many of you
Weren’t even alive)
The choices of shoes
You would wear on a run,
For a woman, at least,
Made the shopping no fun.
Just Adidas and Brooks,
And with limited styles,
Were the options to wear
As I chalked up the miles.
Then came Reebok, but still,
All the pickings were slim,
So you’d see the

Sneakers
Let’s go against the grain, break the rules, and make forever possible again
A classic chic fashion without limits, we set the bar for relationship goals and plan on continuing to go far
What is better than comfort that holds you and is not just there for support
What is better than being in love with your partner

Sneakers
Sneakers are shoes primarily designed
For sports from one event to another;
But which are now also widely used by
Many a person for everyday wear.
Sneakers are a footwear type, sort or kind
With a flexible sole made of rubber;
And an upper part made of synthetic
Objects or animal skin or leather.
The rubber soles of sneakers truly make
Very

Overgrown Sneakers
At early twelve, motherly words echoed
Of the self, becoming a lady one January eve.
No, it can’t happen, as a pale navel ached when
Another unintended milestone had begun—
Those rubber sneakers fondly overused died
On a pink carpet, that I could not understand
How unusually larger my almond eyes
Woke a year after: Tucking

My Favorite Pair of Sneakers
When the wind blows
When the wind blows,the lighting strikes,when heavy rain comes,I know you will be there.
There I was in my birthday suit during a crowd of people robbed of all my belongings,but you were there with me, all I had was you on my feet.
In you they saw no value,they saw no quality only

Abandoned Sneakers
ABANDONED SNEAKERS IN THE STREETS
As we walked watchfully along the way,
a pair of sneakers lay silently in the streets;
abandoned by flight or neglect. Their soles
have lost their occupant: gone to who knows where.
We cannot know the life they once shared;
for there are no footprints in the asphalt to trace
the path of their beginning

Sneakers Exit
The sky is light
The moon is brighter
The paths are clearer
The fastest legs ply
Abonyi village stands in silence
To wails of frogs and flies
Only the stubborn child cries
To the ‘chu-ko chu-ko’ sounds of beds
The day has been bade well
The gongs of my heart struck
Awakened!
The earliest crow heard
The windows of the eyes,
Still fixed
The doors of the ears,
Widely left

Magic Sneakers
When I was very young a little boy of five,
I had a pair of sneakers that made me feel alive.
They were black with white soles,
discolored and had several holes.
They took me wherever I wanted to go,
in outer space, a pirate ship or a mountain covered in snow.
I did not have much in those day but
