A lad in blue jeans
September 6, 2012
Stares,
a lad in faded blue jeans,
at a shoe store,
glowing with flourescent lights.
Wonders,
if he could get one too?
Enchanted,
at the prospect,
he rushes home,
his walking sticks,
tic-tac-ing all the way!

The main idea that was lying behind was the perception of a poor handicapped boy, and since had no legs, he never had worn any shoes. And then he sees a shoe store and gets too excited to purchase the beauties, keeping his unfortunate behind. :)
Thank you so much for reviewing. It helps to know that the reader read to the very last word. Ty! :D

Interesting. Short and sweet. Very unique. I don't really understand what's going on, but in poetry, the reader's supposed to interpret that themselves. That makes it hard to judge on clarity. You did a good job, though!
