Came in tonight looking for relaxation and not only was I ultimately relaxed, but filled with giggles, soft-warmies and genuine pleasure after reading numerous "shoe" tales. Wonderful the way so many rose to the challenge about shoes... I couldn't think of any new stuff so had to resort to a couple of old shoe's (tales) which may or may not work in the challenge...hope you don't mind has beens. Happy Easter All! j. -------------------- It’s Just A Shoe It’s just a shoe I saw on the living room floor, black sequined, high heeled, laying on it’s side where she’d kicked it off as she stumbled in the door. We’d danced and played late into the night and finally came home, slightly high, giggling, shssshing, as we tried not to wake the kids, and giggling again, as that sparkling shoe bounced off the lamp to land in the middle of the room. She’s sleeping now, this wife of mine, though mornings come and the sun is kissing her cheek. I sip my coffee and smile in thought… It’s just a shoe, I think again, but how I love that woman, who puts it on her feet. w.james beard, jr. ©october 2000 --------------------- Soft Soled Slipper Shoes Soft soled slipper shoes with puppy dog toes, slightly pink and satin white, and a silky nose that glows; two little feet tucked inside warm, comfy, hidden from the cold, three-foot high rabbit p-jays holding my child inside. Big blue eyes, soft and shiny, pixie nose, rosy cheeks, puckered lips, starting to smile, sits on my lap holding a book, come on daddy, read a while. Held in arms loving and strong, carried to bed in slumber land, gently placed, tucked in tight loving this child with all my might, sleep my heart, till the sun shines bright. w. james beard, jr. © January 2001 |
