A brown shoe world
flat as waning seas
before the dying sun
turned up
hard on the heels
of seven neon years.
Alchemy, mercury gray,
revamped her soul
walked her from stilettos
into a pair of empty loafers.

I especially liked the last two lines of this. I was watching yesterday a TV prog "Balderdash & Piffle" which traces the origins of words in the Oxford English Dictionary and two items of footwear were featured -- stilettos and flip-flops, so this instantly reminded me.
I like your style. The shoe imagery in this poem is interesting. I really like your word choice as well. :)
I saw it changing colours of life. I was taken away by the sheer beauty of words.
this is an interesting poem!
How nice to meet a new poet - thanks for stopping by my site and commenting. I can relate to Change of Pace - a relief, those loafers, aren't they? Nicely put.
Sue Turner,
Thank you for stopping by and leaving such a warm comment under the microscope. I have perused your sites and even read Wikipedias snapshot of Coeur d'Alene. I could easily become a regular visitor to your sites.

Thank you for commenting on my blog.I really hope you'll come again. This poem is interesting(your title for the poem is so apt) and I know I'll be visiting again:)
This is a lovely, bittersweet poem, which seems to depict a smooth transition from one phase to another.
