' ' ' ' Platforms(Tanka)

Rating: ★2.8


Hear you before I
see you as you clog! clog! clog!
down the shiny hall.
Your 'new' old 70's shoes
announcing your arrival.

:) sweet 70ies :) What of an arrival on platforms, eh :) It's different to walk on platforms, sweet 70-ies. My mum has carried me on platform shoes 9 months in the 70ies :)
