HEELS

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!
