brooke's nooks.

this collection of feisty footwear is one of my many favorite things,

& the following poem tells the tale of the happiness they bring.

each & every day, i slip on a pair of lovely shoes,

& i often use a guessing game when i just cannot choose.

i have sparkly Jimmy Choos that glitter like the sunshine,

& ruffled Burberry sandals that guarantee a fun time.

the ole trusty Chucks that have taken quite the beating,

& the red-soled Louboutins that are just perfect for a meeting.

i’ve got Stuart Weitzman wedges first spotted on J. Aniston,

& even the two-tone Chanel pumps that i wish i could say i won.

there are even some anniversary Gucci’s that are taking up some room,

& my beloved Manolo Blahniks that still make me swoon.

I’ve got some leopard, some suede, & even a nice leather,

basically, i’ve got it covered so i don’t fret over the weather.

my most recent purchase may be a contender for the fanciest of shoes,

it goes by the name of Tod & did i mention they’re royal blue?

I keep adding to the collection with each unpredictable mood swing,

there’s always a great sale out there, who knows what tomorrow’s purchase may bring!

if ever there were some shoes that could adequately describe my glee,

i would choose these sparkly louboutin heels, they’re just perfect for me!

and why, oh why am i so elated, you ask?

i will tell you, really, it’s not a big task!

i’m not engaged or preggers or even turning another year old,

but in my irrationally stressed-out state of mind..or, so i’ve been told…

today marks the day i will turn in my FINAL paper of the year,

a feat i wasn’t sure i’d complete, but definitely deserves some cheer!!!

there have been countless pages read and so many papers written,

through the four long months, i’m surprised that i’m still smitten;

not smitten about school per-say, but with the merriment this time of year,

i’m always making time to appreciate the finer things in life..and an occasional beer!

thanks for all the good luck messages, notes, emails, texts, and calls,

without the support, i probably would’ve rolled up in bed into a medium-sized ball!

and last but not least, to mr. louboutin, the creator of such breath-taking shoes…

you give me a goal to work towards.. in the most awe-inspiring and captivating hues.

i am so happy and relieved that i’ve finally reached this stage,

for the next month or so, i will no longer feel like i’m living in a cage!

so thank you again, it really means more than i can properly proclaim,

i can’t wait to relax, watch movies, and live a non-student life that’s not so lame!!!

xo,
