[bodytext] => Some are new some are old Some are worn Some would never go near the stores A fact so may times told Shirts pants old novelties Pictures of Saints of Jesus in the clouds Sofas and chairs sagged worn Dishes and cups made for tea Help us help others slogans say All sorts of varieties Today I need a pair of shoes looking around before entering the store If high school mates saw me it would be all over Not all live along Lake Huron I hate this state of being underprivileged We all have those who call you loose Some don't respect others at all everyone comes from where they may Sixteen and working papers I set pins Never saying Daddy I need "Money doesn't grow on trees" Inside the store I'm looking for shoes today People greet Spanish Black and White I see several pair It's cold today If it were not for the sun Respecting each others birth right Tennies work boots with wrinkled toes Oxfords loafers and shiny dress If only I can find a pair Looking looking I try on several O'God please mine are so worn Prayer answered I see my shoes Shiny black and never walked on How do I know I check the souls Shoe tops unscratched and souls unmarked I pray "Thank you Saint Jude" Perfect they fit I'll look good monday morn A dollar fifty is all they ask I give them two Ouside I quickly discard my Red Shield bag Never knowing who could see my site Somehow I know these shoes belong to a dead man Donated by his widow I'm sure I pray for her and I pray for him Thank you God and bless both their souls In time my queeziness fades and I like my "New shoes" Sinned [comments] => 1 [counter] => 174 [topic] => 65 [informant] => sinned [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => toughstuff )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
