Phoctober 9th.... Pheet and Phunny Phaces

Moon Topples photo game "Phoctober" has turned up some wonderful pictures all around, it's been very entertaining! Thanks for coming up with this, MT.

The life of the party! Custard filled cupcakes...

Self watering mushroom... verrrry fun...

And a poem about feet, inspired by a particular pair of feet that were dressed nicely in sparkly sandals and caught my attention the other day; I think we take our feet for granted too often.

Feet~

To walk upon

and carry me

where my will

and way may take me

from the rise

to the fall

for each beat

of the heart which keeps

me alive

I step yet again

towards the moment

that I'll die

and I slip

them into cool water

and run

across hot sand

and revel in the cool blades

of the grass that cuts

the heat

that burns my feet

the toes

which balance

and point

and spread

and the heel

that steadies

and rocks

and holds

the body it carries

the heart and soul

thankless work

for foundation

for base

no gratitude found

in time or place

but on we go

with carefree thought

and shorn of woe

we trudge

and dance

and skip

and trip along

until the music ends

and so

the song slows

to a single note

then silenced

and resting there

in statuesque repose

are weary worn

the heels

and toes

that a lifetime

of miles have known

and finally have found

a stillness

when the body has

flown.
