My boots

Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.

Boots are a type of shoes.The main difference between a shoe and a boot is that boots cover the ankle and sometimes the lower leg, while shoes generally don’t. 

I was a law student in England.My father funded all my fees at University and later at the Inns of Court in London. I was also enjoying a fat student allowance but I would never spend my papa’s money on fancy clothes and stuff.

However, I fell head over heels for the trendy knee high leather boots that I saw at Russell and Bromley in Oxford Street, on my way to the underground tube station.

Idea! A good idea flashed in my mind!

I secured a job as salesgirl at Self Ridges during end of trimester vacation.

Et voilà! I bought my first knee high leather boots, color brown with high heels!

I wore my adorable boots during autumn, winter and early spring,with added pride, having bought them with my own earned money.

I love boots. Even at my age now, I feel very tomboyish, wearing them with my old jeans.

Footsteps – Tanka – A Poem by Anita Bacha

Autumn walk

Sound of footsteps 

Crunching leaves 

Echo loudly 

In the stillness 

Anita Bacha

Footsteps is the prompt of #TankaSocietyofAmerica for this week #TankaThursday and #TankaPoem

I was walking to the bakery to buy bread for breakfast and was deep in thought.Suddenly I heard the sound of my footsteps crunching fallen brown leaves 🍂. Simultaneously my Apple in my jacket pocket notified me of the above prompt.

I immediately jot down the above short piece on my iPhone and posted it as quick as lightning ⚡️

My feelings when I did so were ‘ I was living the peace and quietness of an Autumn walk away from the maddening crowds interrupted unduly by my boots, fallen leaves and my iPhone.

Thank you for reading,my friends.

Happy start of the week
