Killer!

#AZatPP  #letterK  #day11

.

Killer looks,

By any book.

Clickety-click-clock

On the pavement block.

.

I was fascinated as a child

With my mom’s heels, oh so high.

Stood I in them, one fine day

Came away with a terrible foot sprain.

.

As I grew up to be 5- foot nothing,

 I once again stepped into those monstrous heels, hoping

That this time, I would sashay like the models.

In reality, like a duck I did waddle.

.

My legs began aching,

My knees started shaking,

The 4 inch- killer stilettos,

 Made me topple to the floor.

 .

Ever since, heels took a hatred to me!

NO! It was the other way around, you see.

I am now content being closer to ground zero,

Don’t care if I reach just the chest of my six- foot hero!
