Thank you for that, Kiya - it's not many brave the wilds of my portfolio to discover my little 8-line poems, so it's wonderful to have some feedback on them. Much appreciated!
Wonderful poem that links footprints to bits and pieces of our memories over the years.
As we get older, we do leave a mark behind - footprints if you will - and even as they fade away, they'll always linger and be a reminder of what we once were.
Thanks for sharing this poignant piece with us, and keep on writing!
Write a poem about something the size of a shoebox -
I read the prompt and my brain turns to rocks;
a giant cockroach leaps out and runs across my mind,
or maybe I could shrink something of slightly larger kind.
But no, that would be cheating and would hurt my reputation -
I need something of much closer size configuration,
and poetry requires a subject to me both dear and true;
my problem is I’m stuck with nothing but a shoe.
