Poetry Jam today...write a new poem with the topic of Feet or Shoes....
Here's my take:
Metric Foot
With accents and syllables to determine it’s tone
A metrical foot can stand on its own -
Dancing to dactyl or swinging spondee,
Kicking up iamb or toe tapping trochee;
Anapestic rhythm can’t be left alone
Unless your poor sole has, alas, turned to stone.
