Shadorma
shut the door
draw back the curtains
look outside
that poor kid
so stoked with his brand new shoes
we are filled with shame
takes little
to make him happy
poor darling
most of us
have too much wealth and money
no good comes from it
POET AND STORYTELLERS UNITED

ReplyDeleteMost are bored with their far-too-many shoes but for those who have none one pair means the world and fills the heart with joy and feet with gratitude.
ReplyDeleteHenry Thoreau said it beautifully "our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify." Love your shadorma.
ReplyDeleteYou picked a good subject to fit the Shadorma, it fit well.
ReplyDeleteGood Job!!
This could be me. At the beginning of every school year I was given a new pair of shoes. Also overall s and Mom may have made me a new shirt from a nice feed sack.
Below is a rundown of my first eight grades at school. I am the boy in the back row of the picture in 6th grade. I have a detailed description of the eight pupils in our school. Four of us were cousins.

Little Goodman Two Shoes? Before children go to school they actually *like* getting useful things as presents.
