Poem: A Woman’s Shoes

by

A closet flooded with shoes

an obsession a woman ensues

red, white, golden and blue

black and pink in all its hue

 

adding a tad of perfection

a silhouette for each occasion

beach flip flops

to winter shoes

leather, rubber

or PU shoes

 

from ankle straps

to ballet flats

from sandals and mules

to sneakers and cools

all lined up

waiting to be picked up

still she wants stilettos

as they far differ from

wedges and peep toes

 

cinderella shoes

 

and don’t miss out her glass shoes

for a special occasion she will choose

to feel like Cinderella

who’s about to grace Prince’s villa

 

her taste of shoe selection

reveals her persona reflection

she isn’t dressed to precision

if her shoes don’t mark an impression!

 

This post is linked to dVerse Poetics where Kim wants us to write about shoes. What an interesting prompt! I’m sure all women here will agree to my version here 🙂 Do share your views.

  7. Even though I wear comfortable shoes, I think women’s shoes are works of art. I once made a lamp out of a discarded red patent leather high-heel platform shoe – I felt sorry for it because it had lost its partner. Your list of the flood of shoes is comprehensive. I particularly like the phrase: ‘a silhouette for each occasion’ and the rhymes in the lines:
    ‘from ankle straps
    to ballet flats
    from sandals and mules
    to sneakers and cools
    all lined up
    waiting to be picked up’.

    • A glass shoe would certainly be transparent but wouldn’t make the person appear barefoot. It certainly shall be a charming accessory to have. I don’t have one but would be keen on buying it 😉 Thanks for your wonderful comment Frank.
