Heavy boots the kind that leave dried mud chunks on the floor Heavy boots that kick the stupid out of hunting dogs Heavy boots you hadn’t bargained for walking on you Heavy boots with heels you know you are under Heavy boots at the end of words that leave bruises unseen Heavy boots that trample and crush delicate things LGR©5/8/13 |

Hard to read, Lori. If this is all real I am sorry. ~*~ I stayed up all night to see where the sun went. Then it dawned on me. ~*~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (05-08-2013 11:44 AM).] |

You were really able to conjure up a whole lot of emotion just by using boots as your subject, good job at writing, and, like the other comments given, I agree, Ouch! Sorry! Hope you're OK! There was a song sung a few years ago by Nancy Sinatra, "These boots are made for walking," but the boots where on the other feet and, um, yeah, I think I liked it better that way, but, anyways, still, I Enjoyed your rendition as well.  |

I appreciate the way you've captured the pain and pressure one feels under this environment in a very visual and tangible sense. Really well written Lori. Best wishes, /Kit |

I read this earlier today and it lingered with me all day. You pack a lot of punch in your poems. That's a good thing, in my opinion. A |
