ode to my shoes

Dear shoes of mine,

you've traveled far

through space and time

so cute you are,

or should I say

you were cute

one long ago day

now, for the garbage shoot. 

I'm sorry to do it

but I have to you see

I'm so through with it-

the smell on my feet.

To England and back

you traveled with me

but now you lack

any use for my feet.

Holes and tears 

no protection from rain

so much time and wear

you cannot remain. 

To my flats, good bye

I'll never see you again

and for now I'll try,

to replace these feet friends. 

Thanks to Catherine Riley and Jessica Duke. Without them these shoes would have never come onto my feet.
