Object in the back closet

Shoes

What can I do with
fifty pair of shoes?
Shoe a large centipede?
Maybe they’d make good planters?
Or I could border my flower garden
with them, instead of rocks.
Or stuff them between the walls
as insulation.
Maybe I could put them on display
in a china cabinet
to bring back the memories.
I could make unique centerpieces,
collages or candleholders.
If my Christmas tree was larger
I could use them as ornaments.
Perhaps bookends for all of my books?
Picture frames?
What do I do with fifty pair of shoes
when I only wear a few?
Maybe it’s time to head for Good Will.
