The sexy Red sling-back stiletto
The Dark plum kitten heel
The elegant Black suede pump
The Satin and gold peep-toe
The fun turquoise wedge
The metallic platform
The fabulous purple alligator stack heel
No more!
I walk on shards of glass
Now from morning till night
My toes on fire
And heels filled with thorns
I miss you all
You red stilettos, serious attitude adjusters
You black pumps for a night out
And you purple alligators that made any occasion
Special
No more!
But doctor, I cry
Look at my closet full of
Sling-backs and pumps, and wedges and mules!
My doctors last words
Wear sensible shoes!

I love this poem. I felt just this way.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been able to wear pretty shoes for 23 years because of rheuma. But I have finally made peace with the fact, and I've found sources for shoes that are fairly attractive in spite of having roomy toe-boxes and low heels.
