One long loop, scale-patterned
entwined with crossing straps
that shine like oil in the sunlight
without the rainbows.
The two inch, narrow heel
usually isn't my style.
Do I really want to spend
$25 I could use for food?
Slip on the right, just try the fit.
and the left – see how they walk.
I sway my hips more, I can feel it.
They match my slacks better
than the leather brown sandals.
Some say money can't buy happiness,
but maybe one can buy a piece of peace.
Checking the mirrors
the lady in Shopko's shoe department
mentions that they match my outfit –
As if I didn't see that.
Standing behind the car with an open trunk,
sandals tossed into the box.

YAY! Our first free verse! 
Surprisingly though, it was just as difficult to find inspiration for this one as all the others. I just haven't felt very inspired at all lately...part of my overall funk I think.
The assignment here was to basically write in the style of a poem we read in class, called "With the Dog at Sunrise" by Jane Kenyon. We had to include, in this order:
An image
A rhetorical question (answered or not)
Returns to the first image or describes a new one
A rhetorical turn
Ends on an image
I've been having such trouble with strong, image-driven poetry (which the prof is crazy about!). Part of that was the forms, but I think part of it is that I've done a lot of work in abstractions.
