Heavenly socks

“All socks go to heaven”
Anonymous

I saw a flock
offsuit flying socks
in the midst of afternoon
shocked …

when temp climbs up
to 90 degrees
they’re flying to North-
debris

of what so valuable
wear when cold –
unclaimed,
intending to fetch

socks’re flying
to match with others
free open hearted
socks

so if you notice them
staring at you
from happy received
feet –

know-they’re proud
couple who found
the way to fit.

  12. Purchase half dozen each of black socks and brown socks. Just pick any 3 in the dark and you'll have a match of either 2 blacks or 2 browns. You can never go wrong!

  18. All socks must truly go to "Sock Heaven" and it is probably somewhere up North where is it really cold. I could just picture socks flying through the air doing a sock dance on their way. All the beautiful colored ones and those with patterns intertwined with white and black ones. Cold air sounds especially wonderful right now with our temps almost reaching 100 degrees, I just want to take a ride with all those heavenly socks. I like the idea of mismatched pairs finding another mate. May we all be so lucky throughout our lives to do the same.

    Thanks for sharing this with us for this weeks Theme Thursday. May your weekend be filled with lots of happy music and socks dancing to the beat.

    God bless.

    1. O dear, thank YOU for such a theme which resonates with many people! Love my socks very much, but this is KIDS who teach us mixing them and other things. We must pay attention how they feel the life...and follow their advises...Fun weekend to you! :)xx
