Hello and Happy Poetry Friday! Be sure to visit radiant Ruth at no such thing as a godforsaken town for Roundup. She's invited us to share something GOOD. I'm all about that. So let me tell you: this week I've had so much fun! 
Early in the week I made my first-ever chocolate angel food cake....for my sister. Delish!
I did A LOT more cooking...and then our fellas came...and we feasted! 
We also played some family games, which always generates lots of laughter.
I crafted (Christmas ornaments!)
and gardened (33 wintercreeper plants)
and wrote (a new experimental YA!)
and revised (my adult novel).
So. Much. GOOD. 
And that got me thinking about shoes. I mean, all this going and doing requires a good pair of shoes. So, with a little help from Vincent van Gogh, I wrote this poem. Thanks so much for reading!
   
  If the Sun Had Shoes
those shoes
would hold
a glow 
in their soles
  
make tracks
across each
radiant day
  
and illuminate
every midnight
hallway.
