Your boots trampled me

But my boots have sharp high heels

Made for destruction


Author’s Note: Welcome to day fifteen on my path along the fifty-day song/lyric-based senryū challenge! Today’s poem is based on “These Boots are Made for Walking” by Nancy Sinatra, which you can listen to below. Even though the original song is about kicking a cheating guy to the curb, I feel that it can also be uplifting when the world in general has you down. I hope you enjoy it and my poem!
