I tried on the shoes
but the fit wasn’t right.
Sloppy.
Then tight.
No matter the walking distance,
it was only empathy touching
imagination that opened my mind.

Ah, time to think with all our senses.
wow. great 160! empathy touching imagination...i like it.
Walking naked and barefoot, adds an interesting dimension to the journey.
Very nice! I enjoy these every week and finally decided to jump in.
my 160 is now up!
Someone will need to explain it to me?
Awesome 160! "Empathy touching imagination" - a wonderful way to describe an attempt at understanding how another lives.
My 160 is up too!
Very nice MM, I like it. I think poetry is about waking people up to have empathy outside their own realm, loose or tight.
Mine is up
"empathy touching
imagination that opened my mind."
I love that!
Great 160. I'm going to try doing a 160 post one of these days.
I'm not sure if I was suppose to post a 160 about the shoes so I went with what I should by the picture posted.
Walk In My Shoes
One hundred and sixty characters. This seems oddly familiar...
My shoes sometimes don't feel like mine either. ;)

Empathy tried to touch my imagination and I told it to keep its hands to itself.
Very nice writing.
Bootiful, just bootiful.
Dem boots was made for more than jest walkin' and that's the heart an' sole of the matter.
Cheers, Phil
I appreciate when someone can make a bold, powerful statement using few words.
You did just that with this one.
Very fun Monkey Man. I found you through "What I should have said" & decided to take up the challenge of 160 characters.
I love this Monkey Man. I am not 100% sure that I have understood it correctly but what I think is:
No one can judge another man/woman unless they have walked a mile in their shoes.
Or that we must all make our own path in life... one size does not fit all!
Thought provoking 160
I love the last two lines , very much , MM!
The best 160 yet!
Happy Easter!
Mine is Endless Easter Blessings to All!
