Yellow

yellow shoes

her shoes
shaded in bright sunlight
stands just a few inches away
across the platform
silent in her movement
yellow warmth
replaces the cold concrete
each step
momentarily brightens her path


One Single Impression

I love the Thurber quote under your header! Late is always better than never, and I couldn’t resist looking when I came upon the email follow-up just now while clearing out my Inbox. Love the concept of YELLOW SHOES as warmth on the cold concrete … brightening her path ;--)

I did this prompt on each of my blogs
here at Small Reflections
and here at Sacred Ruminations.

Hugs and blessings,

Lissa,
I like this very much. It make me think of how we express ourselves in everything right down to our shoes.

This is a great poem. The image of her stepping in those yellow shoes and illuminating her path is wonderful.
