day is leather boots
in horizon shapes
the cowboy left them there

outside the window of a lady
with smooth dark hands
she planted flowers in them

and sanded his buckle
til the shimmer was gone
with her tummy soft laughter

hmmm, they do make nice plant containers,
especially if the spurs are still attached, for the vines or roots to wrap around as anchors
nice thought-provoking write, DS

as always.. the imagery and the illusions say more than just the words themselves... always a pleasure to read you... and see how so few words can be turned into more than the sum of their meanings..

Now, there's a poem I could fall in love with - boots and all.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

I love the reply from above. Use the boots as planters for flowers. Now there is an idea.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
