    My Old Shoe Test 2023

    Uploaded by

    Eddy Namba
    The poem describes an old shoe that is grinning, revealing five dirty teeth embedded in its jaws like a swimming fish. The shoe clops along the sunny streets, making little sound. It resembles a human face or mouth. The grinning suggests the shoe is showing its age and wear in a negative way. The poem is set on the sunny streets from the perspective of the person, I, wearing the old shoe. The five teeth are literally teeth, showing how worn the shoe has become. The shoe and its owner may be homeless.
