Yes, I can recall those types of shoes and now I am down to the lower heels that fit my age. If I take the cane, then it is flat shoes and when I am at home it is the slippers.
I often look back and the different types of shoes I once wore.

I liked the picture and the feet at the end as well as the font and the color you used. I also like centered poems.

    Thank you so very much for your wonderful review! I'm so happy you enjoyed... It was fun putting this piece together and remembering back to all the styles! When I find any pair that is comfy now, I'm ecstatic! Thank you again and have a very Happy and Prosperous New Year!

I love how you incorporated the different decades and their trends into this poem. I think my favourite shoes would have been the ones worn with the wedding dress.

I have to give you an excellent rating on this poem. I loved reading it and can imagine how the shoes were ones that you truly loved. The styles change with every age and season.

    Hi, Rosemary! I am so happy that you enjoyed My Favorite Shoes and appreciate the wonderful Six-Star rating that you awarded! It was quite a fun trip down memory lane and it was just too hard to pick one specific pair out. I will tell you though, that my original poem had an additional stanza which was one with a fun twist at the end... however, I was told when it was in Committee Review for the contest that the last stanza did not conform to the specific topic of shoes (due to a fun, creative twist to the end). Although I was disappointed that I needed to amend it, I am so happy that my revised was also so well received. Thank you once again for the wonderful review and have a lovely evening!

Mystery Poet,

Wow! This beautifully written poem is OUTSTANDING!

You did an exceptional job in the penning of this poem for this writing prompt.

Excellent rhyming throughout with a very smooth flow.
Oh, how I remember the Go-Go-boots. Thanks for sharing a fun and enjoyable read. The very best to you in the contest.

Blessings...Portia

Okay Mystery Writer. I had thought about entering a poem along the same theme. But then I said to myself, "Susan, you know SHE won't be able to pass this one up and you will never in a million years aspire to better meter and rhyme. So just wait it out; let her tell the story for the both of us." Glad I didn't waste an entry fee. (Perhaps I should enter the Psychic contest.) ð???ð???ð??? Loved it, but you missed western boots, moccasins, sturdy work boots and Sorel's for cold and snow. Oh, right. No cold or snow there.

    Oh, my... You just brought back another memory of mine - my Cowgirl boots from the 50's! I loved, loved, loved them! I always wanted to be a cowgirl back then! Gee, sometime soon, I might have to add another stanza! LOL... And thank you so much, Susan for the lovely review. I'm so happy that you enjoyed My Favorite Shoes! Thanks again and have a beautiful day!

The crazy thing is, all of those styles are in fashion right now. You should've saved them all. What a wonderfully written poem. I wish I had a six for you.

Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review! And isn't it the truth... things always seem to come back. I do wish I had saved them all, but as age would have it, my feet are at least a size bigger than they were back then! Oh...the pain of getting old! LOL! Thanks again and have a wonderful day!

My Favorite Shoes

Funny entry for the Shoes contest. I can relate, I used to wear sexy boots because they were my ex-husband's favorite but now I look for comfort. Good luck in the contest.
