Shoes

Beautiful red shoes. Lovely cherry red. Centre of attention. Object of envy.

Alas, a pebble. Bites, nibbles, grinds, scratches, claws.

Endurance, ever possible. What's more, comfortable supporting cushions, beautiful assuring mother.

Endurance, starts dwindling. Cushions harden, protecting pebble. Still, beautiful assuring mother.

Stop, check. Bleeding, blistering feet. Pain, exhaustion, weariness.

Yet, beautiful red shoes, lovely cherry red.
