Only one pair made

middle class shoe's

working class shoe's
worn for all occasions

dead people shoe's

As stalker said, why the apostrophes?
But as stalker doesn't say....I will.
This is a very, very good concept. Some spelling issues, check before posting; some punctuation problems...actually, more problems than punctuationSmile; but nonetheless, all forgiven because it is a great idea.
Best,

apostrophe is unusual. 'finnegans wake' reference maybe? samuel beckett: 'By the brothers Boot...'? 'Shinney' Gaelic play on words? 'dead people shoe's', off the radar... eventually realised these were mistakes. are they? either you are being too clever for me (which isn't hard) or you have made some typos.
however, the concept is amusing, if not a bit trite.

I really like this poem. The concept is good, and I'm wondering if it could be built upon a little more. As it stands, it's an enjoyable and quick read, but it doesn't really leave much impact. It may be me selfishly asking for too much, but I just really dig the concept. Thanks for the read! =)
Back!
