HEELS
Slipping on
My high
Heels,
I click-clacked
Around...
My presence
Was
Heard
Not by
My speaking
Aloud
But by
Shoes
Talking
To the ground.
I went about
Smiling
Broadly,
Waving
Hellos
To everybody!
They waved
Back
Gaining
Cheering...
I was
A star
As the
Cameras flashed,
I felt
Elated
At being
Considered
As one
Of the
Best.
A wonder
Feeling
It is
You see,
To walk
Around
In six
Inch heels
On the
Ground!

THE CHALLENGE
I set a
Challenge
To all
The poets.
Write
A rhyme
That
Will
Freeze
Time
All agreed
Enthusiastically
But they
Failed
Miserably!
One wrote
Asking
Time
To stop.
Another,
Asked
Time to
Slow down
To a crawl...
All in all
The whole
Lot
Missed
The point.
I had to
Stop them
Amd write
It
Myself.
The challenge
Won
Me
A pat on
The back
Along with
Cheers of
"You're the best!"
I accepted
The praise
With grace...
The poets
Looked
Glum
So, I said
To them
That next time
They'd win
But for now,
I was
This challenges
Queen.
Time indeed
Stood still!
