Poem -
Old Worn Out Shoes
Feet flushed red with ache and I strap on these old worn out shoesย
Infinite miles I have traveled, pondering for clues
These souls have walked through shit and mud
Leaving prints all over your so called love
These old worn out shoes, experienced and tired
I need some new kicks, these are soon to expire
My foot steps will fade away alongside yours
New things await and I slam shut your self loathing doors
I leave you my old worn out shoes so that I stay in your memory
Those shoes fled after you, and then you finally lost meย

Hi ย Amber Great write I Like howย you usedย
Old Worn Shoes as an analogyย for a relationship
that was nt good as if it is wornย out and of no use now
I like how you use soul instead of sole clever
Brilliant love this !

Ya know what's SO cool about your stuff AMBER!?....... you're so friggin' hip to the NOW!!..... I'll BET men chase youย after they get beyond your Non de Plume!!....... you're a VERY relevant writer.......and it's always a pleasure........ great use of imagery to drive this home sweet poetesss!!.......ALL STARS!!......T xo.ย ย ?.ย ย
Oh Tony, I don't think so, but maybe I'm not paying attentionย
A beautifully multifaceted metaphor; layered and subtly complex: which you makeย full poetic use of.
I hate to disagree with a fellow poet, but I think Tony's wrong (above)...you're not "hip to the NOW"...like all great artists...you're timeless.
A triumph!
