Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week:
Obloquy: public condemnation.
Myrmidon: Someone who unscrupulously follows someone more powerful.
Naiad: a nymph of lakes, springs and rivers.
Gyles' poem this week is called 'Life Is Like A Pair Of New Shoes' by Cameron Delaney
Life's like a pair of new shoes
Their sparkling brand-new white hues
The stiff soles and laces
Tied up tightly like braces
That eventually wear down as you use
Life's like a pair of new shoes
They go in directions you choose
Down city street blocks
Wherever you walk
They stride along as you cruise
Lifes like a pair of new sneaks
When you first try to wear 'em they squeak
You run down the court
Of an athletic sport
And you show off your skilled techniques
Life's like a pair of new boots
Some fashionable leather beauts
You strut through the city
And you look real pretty
In your white collar buisness suits
Life's like a pair of new shoes
That wear out from years of good use
But soon they get old
And the insides have mold
And by the trashcan we say our "adieus"
