Andy Warhol’s Shoes:

“Andy Warhol’s Shoes”
Andy Warhol painted shoes
with black ink on white paper
high heels looked like skyscrapers
I saw them on the gallery wall
with black ink on white paper
black patent leather, sharp pointy toes
I saw them on the gallery wall
snapped a photo of those shoes
black patent leather, sharp pointy toes
he must have used a skinny brush
snapped a photo of those shoes
who could wear such shoes?
I wondered
high heels looked like skyscrapers
my tired feet began to throb
Andy Warhol painted shoes.

Abbie, I appreciate your comments so much! It made me very happy to know ou were outside when you read this poem – I could see you there on a summer day. Today, I am working on the second poem, “Walking in Andy Warhol’s Shoes.” Going to this museum has so inspired me – and I already have more ideas for some CNF pieces that I will do – I am creating an entire body of work from my trip there on Tuesday. As you do with music, I do with art. It is my soul.
Lynda, I love the imagery in this poem. You do a great job describing the shoes. I’m outside in my back yard reading this on my BrailleSense which of course doesn’t do images, but I don’t need to see the shoes.
