RE: A Single Bronze Sandal [Day 29]
Subtle, and playful too, especially in those first four couplets leading up to the 'invocation' - perhaps anti-invocation would be more exact - of Sisyphus.

Hah! The whole piece a very poignant celebration of the mundane and, at first glance, unimportant. I'm sure there's more references going on later in the poem but my knowledge stops at Sisyphus unfortunately..
thank you so much, my friend, I was really happy with how this one came together. It may not look it, but major pieces of this one were such a struggle to find what the piece wanted to be - then I got rid of a large chunk of it and it finally started to find its voice.
All said, just so glad that you enjoyed your read - I love your pieces.
Ah, I know that feeling. The seemingly effortless pieces often take the longest to formulate. Can't count the number of times I thought I finished a poem only to go back and delete like 70% of it...
The effort certainly did not go to waste on this one :)
