Starting around 2o11, I wrote these little off the cuff poems to post on Facebook. I think I wrote them just to keep improving my writing skills. I didn't save them, or do any rewriting, I just posted them. Anyway, this year Facebook created this "Facebook Memories" thingy. They would repost posts you made in the past from the time you signed up for Facebook. So, I rediscovered these poems that I don't even remember writing! Some of them were pretty good. I saved them and did a bit of rearranging of the furniture (so to speak), and am posting them (one at a time) on my poetry blog. Hey! Here's one now!
this time, as shoelaces.
not deceived and refused
to lace themselves up.
Such deceptive behavior!
And my always dependable insteps
retreated to the safety of sandals.
They refuse to trust anything
that doesn’t cover them properly.

Sandal
Myth
Very
sneaky snakes
disguising themselves,this time, as shoelaces.
Clever
indeed, however,
my tennis shoes were not deceived and refused
to lace themselves up.
My
toes and socks
were
equally shocked!Such deceptive behavior!
And my always dependable insteps
retreated to the safety of sandals.
Velcro
straps make my arches relapse
into a dark, sockless mood. They refuse to trust anything
that doesn’t cover them properly.
