Try These
An Ekphrastic Sonnet
How carefully some choose the right footwear
Occasion, mood, height, weight, color and style
Collapse the search parameters; they care
And with each detail, wish to eyes beguile
This process is much easier for some
Who do not have a wide array of choice
They must preserve and savor every crumb
The wealthy chorus is, for them, one voice
Summer or winter, morning, noon or dusk
These humans must wear but one pair of shoes
Until each one is reduced to a husk
And between bread and wardrobe they must choose
Making immortal this humble footwear
This image should move us to worlds compare
