to staid for too long
I needed a makeover
I painted my nails green
designed them with dots and lines
when I showed those to you
you smirked
and handed me something
I unwrapped it
an involuntary gasp of shock
escaped my lips
when I opened the shoe box
and saw the pointy-toed shoes
I turned around
and hit you hard with those heels
"If you had got me boots, you wouldn't have been booted"

Why don't "they" ever listen...? I enjoy your poetry.
so fun and original...love this!
Nice nice nice! A real change from your usual style.
I always enjoy a different twist, an unexpected outcome. But tell me, if not for pointed toes what would have been preferred by most ladies? Great poem!
I guess she REALLY didn't like those shoes!
Those heels hurt! LOL
Really fun. You always have an interesting entry!
=)
I enjoyed that. The idea is shocking that anyone should try to give me shoes to fit my awkward feet
Another flash of violence from those heel! I love it! ;)
Another post where the shoes are used as a weapon...I love the unexpected ending!
Gosh ... i never new this prompt would give out so much violence.. the most i expected was the wizard of oz
Such a great use of pointy-toed shoes! I love your poem.
Yes, Gautami I have a real dislike for pointy-toed shoes. Fun poem.

I guess he got the "point"!
Had to laugh. Really like the unexpected twists you often bring to the table. Keep writing Gautami, you are a jewel,

This was quite fun and very different from your usual posts.
great one! they buy what THEY like to see on us - not what we like.
How fun! Love the unexpected boot with the pointed toe shoes.
This is what happens when you paint your nails green :)
Bahut achha hai Gautami..you always have some surprise to offer..
Fun. Can you doubt his sincerity?
ah, the art of listening, knowing is a rare thing.
lol...this one made me laugh. Loved it!
Men and footwear...what they want and what we need...! I enjoyed that.
My goodness that's twice today that one of you girls has given it to your husbands :) ~Ames
very creative I loved the ending.... haven't we all "booted" someone at least once?
True life indeed. Please have you all a good new week.

A great take on this prompt

That's right! Just smack 'um with those pointy toed shoes!!
it remind me of the song, "these boots are made for walking"
love your style of using poetry to convey a tale....poor guy but guess he deserved it....

Good poem, very different for your usual. This prompt has brought out some violence in us!
Enjoyed reading it.

In my head this prompt was about sweet little elf shoes...but I love how we all twisted it to make it about violence - ha!
What a great read!
