I thought it was a great tribute to those all important, yet often taken for granted walking shoes. You had a wonderful sense of humor about this, and the rhythms and rhymes captured the gait of walking I thought. estory

Thank you my dear friend! As always you are so very sweet. I truly appreciate your lovely words for my poem. Sally wrote one called "I love high heel shoes", so this was my way of having a little fun with her and that's why I wrote this. I think you would really enjoy it. So thank you again for the kind review, my friend.

What can be better than doing something you enjoy doing and something like walking shoes that are so comfortable that they make walking a joy. Sounds to me, to be a win, win, win.

Thanks so much Nomi. I had fun with Sally's type of Circus Poem in order to have a little fun in answer to her, "I love high heel shoes." She invented these poems that are like a circus where there is so many different things going on in the arena.. that's why there's a little free verse along with the rhyme. However mine have more rhyme because that is more my style.
Anyway, check out hers on high heels and see why I thought this was fun.
Thanks again my dear friend for the awesome review.
Comment from Rena Smith
Wow, this is a great poem and I really enjoyed reading it. I love because it's a poem about stuff I like and can relate too. I also can tell the writer put some time into it carefully and it's a genuine poem and I like that. The poem is beautiful and the picture is perfect for the poem and it's beautiful too.

Rena, you are so very sweet. I truly appreciate your lovely words for my poem and if you want to enjoy more, check out the one who invented the. Her name is Sally Law and she wrote one called "I love high heel shoes", so this was my way of having a little fun with her and that's why I wrote this.
So thank you again for the kind review, my friend.
Comment from J L Graves
What a delightful poem! I loved the rhythm and flow of the words. I'm not familiar with Sally's circus poem, but am inspired to look it up. And, I too love my flat walking shoes.

Thanks so much JL for the kind review and comments. I have a couple reasons that I look forward to Spring, besides wear walking shoes. One being that we got our first couple inches of snow today. Yuck!
Anyway thanks again for your thoughtful words. Sally's Circus poems are great and I do have fun writing them too. You would really enjoy hers too. Thanks again my dear friend.
Comment from Terry Broxson
I really like this poem for this contest, good luck. It is a very fun poem, there are several lines that are over the top with humor, but my favorite is about the fitness tracker, subtle understated humor at its best.
I had to go find Sally's poem about high heels, and that does make this poem more fun. Although I will say Sally had a good song about High Heels, I never heard a song about flat heels, and that's too bad. Excellent work. Terry.

Thank you Terry for such a kind review. I appreciate your thoughtful comments so much. Yes, Sally is the queen of her Circus Poems so I may have to come up with a different name for mine and call them
Merry- go-rhymes. Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a song about flats. Flat never has been a big seller. Lol! Thanks again my awesome friend. You really did make my day.
Comment from LJbutterfly
This was a fun poem to read. I can identify with having a good pair of walking shoes. I found a pair of clogs by Easy Street that came in multiple colors and seemed to be made for my feet. I own seven pairs.
Even though you poem did not have a set rhyme, it was rhythmic with an easy flow. Best wishes in the contest.

Thanks so much Lorraine. Circus Poems are actually not supposed to have any set rhyme,. They are supposed to be like being at a circus, there are many things going on with a little of this and that. Sally is really great at it, but I love writing them so much because they are so much fun.. Actually this was a humorous answer to her, "I love high heels."
I love that you have so many clogs. I have a pair from about 10 years ago that I refused to get rid of because I want to wear them again someday.
Thanks so much for the lovely review and comments. I sure did appreciate them!

Gee, I'm not quite sure what or how to say anything. Seems you and they had a grand day anyway, and if the oy written of is genuine than what I think shouldn't be thought through anyhow. :-)

Oh no Tom, is this one of those, "if you can't find anything good to say...."
Lol, let me ease your mind on that. Yes, I do love any shoes because of what they are made for. But this poem was a little fun with Sally for her Circus Poem, "I love high heels" And those types of poems are supposed to resemble a circus with a little bit of this and that going on. That is why you don't get a set rhyme scheme because there is none, And you my friend did a great job of being gracious. Thank you Tom! : )

A friend of mine has said in defense of my witticism, don't mind him, "It's only Tom."

I happen to love your witticism, so please don't ever change.

What a fun poem this one was. An ode to your flat shoes it was for sure. I loved the humourous take on this Ode. I wish you the very best in the contest. Ulla:)))

And like always, you Ulla are so very kind. I do appreciate your lovely words.
I wasn't sure how well this kind of poem would be received or if many had heard of Sally's Circus Poems, but they are so much fun to write. It makes a whole poem of free verse or rhyme almost boring to write now. Yet I am a rhymer from way back so that probably won't change any time soon. Thanks again my sweet friend for being so kind. So appreciated.

I loved it.
Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
Well-done entry to the ode contest. The text is a great size. The cursive font gives the poem a sense of style. This is a good free-style poem. The verses impart a clear message of the importance of the speaker's flat walking shoes. The visual fits perfectly. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from LateBloomer
Hello Author, a fun poem. I think that many of the reviewers can relate to your poem. We all love the comfort of a pair of flat walking shoes or sneakers. Your poem reads and flows well and has good humor within.
I especially liked:
While I tell you about loving things, that are in the style of flat
Wish a couple upper body parts, were a little more like that
(You and me both. Let's just say that we are endowed.)
Well-chosen photo. A pleasure to read. This poem made me smile. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. LateBloomer

Thank you so very much Margaret for the very sweet and thoughtful words for this silly poem . I guess as much as it was mostly in fun, there is much truth that putting them on in the Spring and walking with them will truly make me rejoice. So thank you again my dear friend !
