There are two of these with the same theme, but they're proposed in completely different ways.


Barefoot and Dancing (I)

Platforms, stillettos, flats,
Sneakers, boots, galloshes,
Velvet and leather
Canvas and wood
Magenta
Mahogany
Eggplant
Azure
Boat shoes, fuzzy slippers (leopard print!)
Sandals and spurs
A pair for her sweater
And one for that dress (the green sequined one)
For moonlight, marching, marathons, mass,
For climbing mountains,
For floating across seashores

Approaching the dance floor
Amazed stares meet het feet
Red ruby sparkles or strappy patent leather
Give way to (perfectly painted) toes

Barefoot and dancing

The only way to live
Toes make love to the ground
Pure emotion
Unafraid of being tread upon

Barefoot and dancing

True love can never be halfway

No ballet slippers
No tap shoes
Could make her collection more complete
Than no dancing shoes at all

another good poem well done

 Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace,
of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd

I enjoyed the differences in this.. good work  

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......
