A closet flooded with shoes
an obsession a woman ensues
red, white, golden and blue
black and pink in all its hue
adding a tad of perfection
a silhouette for each occasion
beach flip flops
to winter shoes
leather, rubber
or PU shoes
from ankle straps
to ballet flats
from sandals and mules
to sneakers and cools
all lined up
waiting to be picked up
still she wants stilettos
as they far differ from
wedges and peep toes
and don’t miss out her glass shoes
for a special occasion she will choose
to feel like Cinderella
who’s about to grace Prince’s villa
her taste of shoe selection
reveals her persona reflection
she isn’t dressed to precision
if her shoes don’t mark an impression!
This post is linked to dVerse Poetics where Kim wants us to write about shoes. What an interesting prompt! I’m sure all women here will agree to my version here 🙂 Do share your views.
Nice one

Yes, vandana, not so much for shoes though, I have an obsession for handbags and purses..My daughter always tells me, how many handbags do you want 🤔

Even though I wear comfortable shoes, I think women’s shoes are works of art. I once made a lamp out of a discarded red patent leather high-heel platform shoe – I felt sorry for it because it had lost its partner. Your list of the flood of shoes is comprehensive. I particularly like the phrase: ‘a silhouette for each occasion’ and the rhymes in the lines:
‘from ankle straps
to ballet flats
from sandals and mules
to sneakers and cools
all lined up
waiting to be picked up’.

Thanks Kim. The prompt was pretty interesting. Women’s shoes and bags are indeed a work of art and creativity. I am moved by your words that you felt sorry as it had lost its partner! Thanks for your lovely words.

Nice description of shoes to fill a closet. Wouldn’t a glass shoe make someone look barefoot? Of course if it sparkles in the light that might be interesting.

A glass shoe would certainly be transparent but wouldn’t make the person appear barefoot. It certainly shall be a charming accessory to have. I don’t have one but would be keen on buying it 😉 Thanks for your wonderful comment Frank.
