SHOES by HANIEL (CLARK) LONG

Poet Analysis

First Line: I CANNOT PUT THE OLD SHOES ON
Last Line: BAREFOOT FOR A WHILE.
Subject(s): SHOES; BOOTS; SNEAKERS; SHOEMAKERS;

I cannot put the old shoes on,
They're too far gone to wear -
And yet I cannot quite assume
My newly purchased pair.

The difficulty is extreme.
Since shoes are such a trial,
I guess that I'd go happier
Barefoot for a while.
