arches constrained in
laces and buckles
protection,
restriction
[made in China]
impatient hands tug
rubber soles
slinging expectations
violent with gravity defying force
wiggling toes to open air
breathe

Wonderful work on this! I honestly never thought of it like this! (that and I go barefoot whenever I can!) Great work on this hun!

That was pretty cute...i like the bit of depth there with the being free of her shoes. Cute mental image her wiggling her toes. Great.

Ahh.... freedom. That was where I thought this particular image would go. I liked how you incorporated the buckles as agents of oppression, giving this poem a deeper feel than just plain old shoes.
