I am learning that poems don’t have to be 3 minutes long. That was a fear of mine. I am giving myself permission to express shorter thoughts. Enjoy!

Impromptu Shoe
by: 2Deep

You,
sir,
are like my favorite pair of high heels.
You have a time limit,
hurt my feet,
but look beautiful on me.
I know,
I probably should choose a pair that better suits me,
but do you know how many hours
went into making sure I had the money to buy you.

Day 16: Questions

So, I was chilling with my cousin, KaNikki J, when she asked me to do a community poem with her. I was down for it. But if you know me then you know that I never stop at the obvious, I’ve got to take it a step further. Soooooo….. I decided to ask my office to help me create a community poem as well. I think they also call it a skeleton poem or something. Anywho. I wrote the first line and told someone to write the next. Then I covered up my line so the next person could only see the line directly above the line where they were to write. I didn’t get my whole office involved, but the few people who I did ask were happy to join in. lol. P.S. Did I mention that i work with some of the coolest people in the world? lol.

So, here is the poem:
