Mismatched Shoes

Written after photographing a pair of mismatched children’s shoes abandoned in a park.
(Shoes were photographed as they were found.)
Mismatched shoes
abandoned and forgotten on a wall,
No one about to be seen,
no telephone number to call.

Mismatched shoes
a new fashion rage.
A toddler perhaps
a fashion sense unconstrained by age.

Mismatched shoes
forgotten and left behind.
A person in need
perhaps they will find.

Mismatched shoes
forgotten or abandoned by a tyke.
Another pair at home
similar but not exactly alike
