Dainty Feet

i do not have nice dainty feet,1

but oh I wish I had2

when I see the feet of others it makes me feel so sad3

My heart is full of jealousy and rage4

But then I stop and think  ...........5

Feet are meant to walk on and not to be admired6

and so to write the words below I find that I'm inspired -7

feet come in all shapes and sizes8

and we should be glad for any9

though mine won't win any prizes10

I'm glad of what i've got and spend a pretty penny11

to make them nice and smart and neat12

my lovely fat and ugly feet.13

    awesome! I have extra wide feet and they're fairly large besides, so not the prettiest sight- so i really enjoyed this poem.

    Cute work

    Hallo -- You've put a smile on my face, then a grin, and then giggle ... and then a peel of laughter! BECAUSE: ... MY feet are soooooooo small, that my children LAUGH at me! I guess perfection is elsewhere, not so?

    Thank you for reminding me: these feet are made for dancing!

    AND: Welcome at Allpoetry.

    Love

    Myra

    Thank you very much for your comment. This was my very first attempt at poetry. I sort of knew what I was trying to say and yes you are correct - I was using feet as a metaphor. However, I did not really realise this until you wrote it down for me. I am a visual artist, so poetry is a strange tool in my hands, but I am so glad that you understood what I was trying to say.

    Thank you.

    Thanks for your comment. It is my very first poem. I have got over my insecurities about having big feet, because I am now modest enough to realise that the rest of me is nothing to write home about either. But hey nonny nonny no

    this poem reminds me of my sister. She has very wide feet, so she always has troubles finding shoes to fit her. (especially dressy shoes!!) I, personally, think her feet are cute.

    Anyway, about the poem itself. It's very cute and very inspirational! It tells me: Be ok with what you have! It's yours so love it!

    hehe this is a cute poem. i like the way you worded it. And it's true, that we all have different feet, shapes and sizes...as is it's true with everything else in our body.

    i liked it!

BUT I JUST WANTED TO RIP HIS HEAD OFF AND BE THE BALLERINA! AND NOW, HE WAS NOT GAY! FAR /FAR FROM IT! ANYWAYS, ENOUGH ABOUT ME.... MORE ABOUT YOU! YOU DID SUCH AN AWESOME JOB AT DESCRIBING THIS POEM! I REALLY LIKED IT! AWESOME WRITE! KEEP IT UP!!

    great write, I don't think I know anyone who likes their own feet, and I know i am not a fan of feet in general. the line "Feet are meant to walk on and not to be admired" is great, this really gets your point across quickly, and flows well. Try to watch forced rhyme though. It seems like you were trying to avoid a set format for this poem, but kept getting drug into one anyway. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to take away for the overall write, just trying to give some advice you can think about during your next write, and i hope there is a next one. :-) well done

    i think feet are really funny who ever likes their own feet and its a rare person who can wear shoes all day and then not have smelly feet at the end of the day i suppose or is that only me magwichy you say it all in this and finish on such a positive note which makes you think that you have to be grateful for what you have got. ballet dancers must have toes made of steel i really enjoyed reading this

    I, oh, enjoyed this, magwich, much! (I love the background you chose, also, it somehow truly fits)...The Title and Oh, the wit, style and somehow oh-so-believable- feeling made me smile and yet, know that, oh, we all have something, don't we...Oh and I related to this, as though my feet are, well, ack-ack, what you might call dainty--actually they just are very small w/itty bitty toenails and, um, it's hard to find shoes, and well, I am no child, but, I have to often buy shoes in the children's dept.! (well, they can be chaper, but still it's hard to find anything to fit, sigh, I should be on an island somewhere, barefoot-y! They Truly aren't very dainty, though as I am clumsy and oh my, well, you know, trip over them, etc! Oh! !!!!
    Now, I like this as it flows well, and it is real, you know, for me, anyway, it, it is also, for me, an accetance of oneslef, yes, you may have wished for 'dainty feet', but it is human, clever, well written and I love, love this:
    "feet come in all shapes and sizes
    and we should be glad for any"
    for me, that is like a metaphor for all of us who may feel different or have something we so wish we cold change, but then, then...the Vanity is gone and these lines mean much, to accept ourselves as we are and even big fat ugly feet become so very special when one accepts...as well as itty bitty ones with teensy toes, etc./Apologies, I ramble, but this has something special and Important to say and I hope to see more of your work, I have added you to my faves and I thank dear plink for letting me know about you! ThankYou for a dancing, singing, wonderfully witty, yet, in it's way, quite serious piece, I much, much liked this poem, and More? I hope you will add more...this charmed me and it made me think as well!
