L: Ohh! How I hate slush!
and those icy roads
threatening our contact
R: Her voice! Her voice complaining
that our touch is too smooth
Too slick for the season
L: Unbelievable!
Where is the respect?
When was style forgotten?
R: The bitch fell down
So what?
Everyone falls someday
L: Winter is coming
dark days ahead
back into that closet
R: Soon forgotten!
while that bulky pair
makes the rounds
L: Oh! So unfair!
How I hate that stuffy couple
heavy and slow
R: They’ve got no manners
no etiquette
no heels, no style
L: Can’t breath here
it’s too crowded
I miss the rain …

Haha! Thanks, Claudia.

It was fun to write. I’m glad it seems to work.
Ha.. winter can be hard on shoes.. and how nice conversation.. Maybe it’s time for those big one with spikes…
The punks? They probably deserve their own poem.
Ah the thoughts and prejudices of shoes! Well done! Very nicely and lightly crafted. Thanks for joining in for Poetics!
