Since I am a shoe lover (although I just can't manage the way-high heels I wore in my "youth"), I get that shoes and bags do have their own kind of poetry! Don't you agree?
(Also, my apologies for being AWOL. Bali is blocking Gmail and Blogger, but I stumbled upon a "back-door" today, which will probably slam shut any moment! If not, I'll post more nuggets soon...)

Bali! How exciting, Sylvia! Love the sign. ;-) Sending you good wishes for a safe return, along with a poem "If Words Wore Shoes" from the FATHER GOOSE Blog
Wow! Bali!! What fun!!
I'm glad that sign found you -- someone who would TOTALLY appreciate it!
This is practically priceless. Can't wait to read Charles's poem......I love how poetry can be anything. I think I finally understand my shore and bag journey. I am looking for that perfect poem!!! The one that fits just so. The one with just the right amount of bling. How exciting to be in Bali, Sylvia, lucky them!!!!!
