  1. ‘If only you would take off
    The boots and socks
    That hold up your angry words
    To feel the cold earth
    as it really is’

    Fantastic!

  3. I enjoyed this and would have loved for it to sprawl down a bit further. Having reading some of your other poems I expected it to, and so was slightly disappointed. But still a very enjoyable read with a fantastic picture to boot.

  9. I love it! I’m giggling at the idea of wearing slippers together, especially the ones in the photo, which look like some kind of invention for sweeping or dusting while you walk. ๐Ÿ™‚
