If Words Wore Shoes

If words wore shoes
What kind would yours use?

Would they lace up,
Slip on, or buckle?

Would they walk tall
In boots and high-heels?

Would they slipper,
Or sneaker, or tap?

Or would they
Barefoot dance on the run

Playing tag
With the earth and sun?

    Love the sense of play in this one. Must ponder my word-shoes now . . .

    I especially love those lines! Now, I'm off to your website to check out those new books.

    Whatever shoes my words wore would be comfortable.
