I wrote a poem this time, it is a fiction trying to have fun looking at the prompt.
I value Your Input and Wishing You All A Very Enjoyable Tuesday Ahead!
*****
A pair of shoes
Is like a pair of eyes
That watch what you do
When your feet desert them
To woo another pair of shoes,
Or to swim in public pools;
To take a sunbath near a bay,
Or to cuddle with your lover by the end of the day.
To stay shoeless,
feel fearless;
And run wild
Like a daring child,
...
The world will be a better place
If one always wears the other person's shoes
With significant grace,
And walk side by side
With matched pace.

Hell with that. I'm staying in my own shoes !
Significant grace,...matched pace...wearing the other person's shoes...Really enjoy this poem.
Ah, first fun thought of the day!
I liked this poem.
If only we would ALL walk a mile in each other's shoes, instead of belittling each other's personal life.
I love shoes=0) I wish everyone would think of it this way!

Very nice. I'm so not into shoes LOL :)
Taking a walk in someone else's shoes is a good lesson for all of us!
Like the message.
SHOES ARE IMPORTANT LOL, WE NEED THEM, GREAT POST XX
jingle, this was fantastic!! i never would have thought to write about what the shoes thought or felt...you are so clever :) loved your magpie tale!!
Oh, it would, wouldn't it? Nice work!
We would all be more understanding of others if we'd spend time in their shoes! Great poem, Jingle :)
Yes, we need to walk at least a mile in others' shoes.
Nice poem, but I can't wear those shoes; they clash with my outfit.
i agree with the majority- last para is the most beautiful para.
Wonderful poem!!
Oh only the shoe knows
perfect!
This is a very nice poem
Poor shoes having to watch you as you leave them behind :)
Wearing some one elses shoes and seeing what they saw, is heavy stuff.
Good one Jingle :)
To stay fearless...run shoeless. I like that.
Such a great poem... I love the message at the end.
for the love of SHOES...great poem. i didn't understand how magpie works.....so will get busy with the next prompt!
Love the sentiment about walking in other's shoes...something we can never really do but the thought of which allows us to be more empathetic and compassionate. Plus...I love shoes..a bit of an obsession for me!!
Jingle Thank you for stopping by my blog.
I like this perspective!
Shoes with feelings, interesting. Nice poem.
