If I Were A Shoe…

If I were a shoe, I’d be

A black leather slide

If I were a city, I’d be

Roanoke, Virginia, the Star City of the South or

the little villa of Praia do Forte near Salvador

If I were a season, I’d be

late Fall with the smell of fallen leaves and cool mornings

If I were a car, I’d be

a Range Rover with 4-wheel drive

If I were a vegetable, I’d be

good old green brocolli

If I were a fruit, I’d be

a sweet red strawberry

If I were a color, I’d be 

dark pine green or chocolate brown

If I were furniture, I’d be

a grandma-sized wooden rocking chair

If I were a country, I’d be

New Zealand with all those green mountain sides.

If I were a beverage, I’d be

a Starbucks Vanilla Frappuccino

If I were clothing, I’d be 

a zip-up cardigan

If I were weather, I’d be

a brisk fall morning with a slight breeze.

If I were a dessert,  I’d be 

a chocolate eclair

If I were a plant,  I’d be

a sunflower.
