Dress shoes Blest shoes Smile at me Sole plopping down With each clippety clop step The soul's merriment Exposed Except When standing Then nobody knows about my "soul" And where it's traveled to What puddles My feet have muddled through...
Lovely poem! Really like the imagery of the feet muddling through the puddles as well as the rhyme throughout the poem. Nice use of onomatopoeia (clippety clop, plopping); alliteration of the "cl" sound; personification of the shoes "smiling"; assonance created with the "eh" sound in step, exposed, except, and when; and of course theres is the play/double speak of "soul" and "sole." The poem reminds me of my own childhood days and playing in the rain with my own shoes. Again, well done!
Yowza!
ReplyDeleteThe usage of "soul" and "sole" as well as the rhymes make "Dress Shoes" very interesting to both listen to and read. Thank you for sharing.
