Shoes

It's time for another post linked to Mama Kat's Writers Workshop.

The prompt for this post that I chose was

Write a 20-line poem (rhyming or non-rhyming) dedicated to your favorite piece of clothing (could be a shirt, hat, shoes, etc.).

This particular prompt caught my attention because although I love shoes, I can't wear a lot of the cutsey , sweet little different kinds of shoes due to my leg braces. I thought it would be fun to do a poem about shoes, so here goes:

Lost Shoes

Oh shoes, my shoes

Where for art thou

did I lose?

With two under the couch,

one black and one red.

One in the dogs mouth

one under the bed.

Oh my blue shoe do I see?

With the cat chewing on it

so delicately?

Though no match to be

found,

shoes certainly abound.

Flip flops, mules, slides

and tennies,

cute little loafers

filled with pennies.

Oh shoes, my shoes

where for art thou

did I lose?

I hope you at least got a small giggle out of that one:) I've worn these leg braces for seven years now, and admittedly when I realized I could no longer wear cute little flip flops , and sandals and such, I got angry. Actually had to grieve for the shoes I could no longer wear, although it would save me money on pedicures! I still get those from time to time, but don't like people touching my feet anymore, so it makes it a bit difficult.

Till next time...
