Inspired by "For sale: baby shoes, never worn" Yujin, Lindsay, Julia, Sevi, Eliza, Giaco and Mackenzie wrote their own poems based on a sole pair of shoes.
Shoes that match the ocean blue
Walking pairs of two
Shoes that match the ocean blue
On the golden floor
Dancing blurs that want to soar
Who would think these shoes are true?

Flip Flops
Lazy flip flops
In the heat walk over sand
Wind blows across feet
To cool down the burning toes
Reminding us that the summer has come
By: Lindsay '20
Skate boy
Dim lamps lit the dark streets,
The skateboard wheels rolled and turned,
Could he vaguely tell,
The aged sneakers sliding through the ground,
Really belong to his own, unconscious body?
By: Julia '19
MONSTER
There it was, massive.
He saw it with his own eyes
He stood motionless
It stared directly at him
That was all he remembered
By: Sevi '20
Yellow Dash
My wheels rolled quickly
I flew up through the streets
It was a big blast
A dash of yellow struck me
I soon became blinded
By: Eliza '20
The Bear
The steam is frigid,
As I walk through the forest,
Then I see a bear,
The bear is dark and immense,
I run as fast as I can.
By: Giaco '20
The lost pair
They were far gone now,
Not where they were last spotted,
I miss their last steps,
The search party has been sent,
To help find my comfy shoes.
By Mackenzie '20
