Rock
There’s a rock
in my shoe
and I cannot lie
It reminds
me of you
that look in your eye
My balance
has faltered
I’m going down fast
The future
was altered
when you rushed right past
But the rock
in my shoe
doesn’t slow me down
Cuz I got
rid of you
and I’m less one clown

That last stanza made me laugh.
Anyway, i like the concept of a rock in a shoe being like a pain in the butt.
hi christine,
sarah
i’m glad it made you laugh - it was supposed to.
“Cuz I got
rid of you
and I’m less one clown”
Love it.

hi michael,
sarah
lol - i was actually inspired by you with that last line. your love of the phrase ‘ass-clown’ stuck with me. i almost used ass-clown but then i thought that might be too much.
Hell yeah!
This was so good.
I loved the rhyming.
Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap.

sarah

I think this is one of my new favourites.
One has to love it!
Sarah, it’s a keeper…… (not that your others are not, you know what I mean, yes?)
hi spaz,
sarah
i’m more than happy for it to be one of your new favorites. yes, there is something about it that makes you love it.
I am thinking I might like to put this poem in my new page entitled “Poems that Inspire Me” with your permission of course.
kim
let’s talk via email about this, okay?
sarah
hmmm, a breakup poem, eh? Well, I can sure relate to that.
