Unexpected Ode


Ode to my Boots:

You have been
to the campfires
Walked with me through school
You have ridden
the four wheelers
and carried
the deer.

You are always there
ready for
the next adventure.

I see you in
my closet
loyal and waiting

You have
scuffed up toes
and beaten
up soles,
but you're always there
ready for the
next adventure.

The brown on
the bottom
 is starting to
wear
The camo
on the top
still bright with color

No matter
where I travel
no matter
where I go.
You will always be there
ready for
our next adventure.

What would
I do without my
beaten up
boots.

  1. I think the repetition of "adventure" and "beaten up" is powerful!
