Title: The Boot on the other foot.

In this poem, the writer effectively uses imagery and narrative to evoke emotions and tell a story. The poem revolves around a pair of boots that hold a significant memory for the protagonist. The poem's structure is simple, with no specific rhyme scheme or meter, which allows the reader to focus on the content and the emotions conveyed.

One aspect that could be improved is the punctuation and capitalization throughout the poem. Consistent punctuation and capitalization can help guide the reader and provide clarity. For example, in the line "nade of fake gold," it would be helpful to correct the typo to "made" and add a comma after "shone" for better readability.

Additionally, the poem could benefit from more vivid descriptions and varied sentence structures. This would help create a more immersive experience for the reader. For example, instead of simply stating "She recalled the day she got them," the writer could use more evocative language, such as "Memories of the day she received them flooded back."

Lastly, the poem could benefit from a more focused exploration of the protagonist's emotions. The poem touches on the protagonist's feelings of being "choked," but it could delve deeper into the emotional impact of the events described. This would help the reader form a stronger emotional connection with the protagonist and the poem as a whole.

Overall, the poem effectively tells a story and evokes emotions through its narrative. By addressing punctuation and capitalization, incorporating more vivid descriptions and varied sentence structures, and further exploring the protagonist's emotions, the poem could be even more impactful.

that you might have delved deeper into the emotional trauma,
I think that the unattached demeanor in which you describe the
acquisition of the money says more about it than a torrent of words
or more descriptive lines. I sense that something has changed in the time
since she had bought the boots; that maybe the mother has died and/or she was leaving home
which is why she was cleaning the closet and the thought of leaving has made her sad,
remembering her mother.

The title is good, it drew me in.
Now, the boot is on the other foot and Dad can no longer prevent her from leaving.
Language use is good, plain and simple.

I like the beginning and the end. The beginning gets right to the heart of the story
and the end tells how disinterested in the boots she was; she only bought them to use the money
as her mother wanted her to, [perhaps to assauge the guilt of her mother, for being unable to do anything
about it]. A good story. ~ Geezer.
