I wore odd socks today,
Inside my boots
Where only I could know
A rule was being broken.
I wore odd socks today,
My secret kept
In silent puckish glee
At innocence around me.
I wore odd socks today,
A conscious act
But not rebellion
Against the common order.
I wore odd socks today,
Contrary feet
To better walk a path
That finds its own direction.
I wore odd socks today,
They felt so right
Because it can’t be odd
To match the feet they fit on.

I don’t even know where my llama socks are – I probably wore them out, since I can’t stand to have bare feet even in bed lol.

I’ve not worn mine for a while. I’m the opposite when it comes to wearing socks in bed – I have to have bare feet.

It’s far more fun than it has any right to be! I make a point of avoiding matching pairs ❤️

Gorgeous poem, Alex, and I love the sense of mischievousness that pervades it. It’s a wonderfully childlike delight in doing something different and wandering away from the beaten path!
And yes! The important thing is that they fit and are comfortable. 😀
