FUNKY FOOTWEAR ~ TANKAS

BRIAN & ANGELA

 

 

GIRLS in leather boots

don't give two hoots for ogling

Men in Business Suite

They much more lika ~ Harley

and a hairy scary BIKA !

 

For my LADY I would

choose Louboutin or Jimmy Choo's

Four inch heels ~ bright red

designer clothes from heel to head

we don't splash cash on drugs 'n booze !

 

In Trainers ~ I like

to jog ~ go "walkies" with my dog

jumpin' like a frog

And to keep me fit & slim

I train in trainers ~ in the GYM

 

 Down to the beach ~ in

Summer we goes ~ feel the sand

between naked toes !

Trunks ~ Bikinis we look cute

almost in our Birthday Suit !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love Brian

 

Please add a verse to my FOOTWEAR FUSION ~ Thanks B.   

   

TANKAS are extended HAIKU or SENRYU ~ In ENGLISH

ideally 31 syllables in 5 lines  5 7 5 7 7 ~ One always

allows some "poetic licence" with a TANKA ~ BRIAN.

        Booted and suited Brian - back in the day that was.
        Good write.

        • BRIAN & ANGELA

          Yes indeed ANDY ~ My Grandfather who is a "Primitive Methodist" said about them "By their suits you shall know them !" Yours BRIAN

          Does she have a tanka petrol? If so I'd go haikuing with her anyday - and a great write to (leather) boot

          • BRIAN & ANGELA

            YES INDEED MICHAEL ~ She is a "HELL'S ANGELINA" and always has a "full tank" ~ AMEN ~ Pleased you enjoyed it ! BRIAN

                Welcome

              • Fay Slimm.

                Filled with funky fun in the shoe-line is this tanka dear Brian - - with you on beachware of naked feet to get that sand-between-toes feel. . Great read.

                • BRIAN & ANGELA

                  Thanks FAY ~ "Footwear" always stirs my Muse and (in a manly way !) I love "SHOES" and buy far too many ! I like M & S men's and recently in the "outlet" shop there were some black slip-ons @ £15 instead of £60 ! You know what they say about Men's feet ~ and these were marked 81/2 but fitted like my usual 10 ! When I asked the Assistant she smiled and said they are a 10 but they have been labelled wrong ~ which is why they are only £15 ~ I bought both pairs ! Most Men keep their feet hidden ~ but I love to get mine out ~ on the beach ~ I guess you do too ! Yours as always ~ BRIAN

                  I like "Splash the Cash" and I like this Tanka(thanks for teaching me something new)
                  Also, thank you for adding to my Fusion!

                  • BRIAN & ANGELA

                    GRACIAS "EL PRETZ" ~ Always a pleasure to add to a Fusion ~ they get a bit sluggish ! Pleased you liked the TANKAS ~ The concept of the TANKA is that 17 syllables is often too short and too mysterious ~ SO ~ We added two more lines (of 7 syllables each) to amplify (and also explain !) the meaning of the HAIKU or SENRU. In ENGLISH the 31 syllables should be written in a 57577 pattern ~ BUT I never use my Samuri Sword on those who exercise Poetic Licence ! If you don't want to incur the wrath of the PURISTS ~ any short POEM can be labelled as a QUICKIE ! Yours BRIAN

                  • Christina8

                    Awesome write! I've never had designer shoes! I like the part about Louboutins and Jimmy Choos! Don't sound very comfy! LOL Well written though. Sisterly hugs--Christina
