  Our old
 footprints     are now
  history.         All of       them
    had to       give in      to the      tide,
                                     To be      washed
                                                     slowly    from
                                                                   the
shores.
Now we must  leave new ones;
I know in my heart where I stand.
In turn I remind you gently, As not
to push or pull-- Its always your
choice where you tread. How you
might cross the sand  in this
 lifetime; Will you even set
  a  foot or even
    a toe upon it--
    Following the
    same path
  as before?
Or  maybe this time
do you choose to veer
Away? Pick another fate.
Once more just a you
And once more an I
   No more we.
well this was going to be under visual poetry but for some reason you're unable to submit image files to the visual poetry category at the moment :shrug: i've been told it will be fixed.

this is the last time i try to type up something in a footprint shape - it worked fine in word but then when copy/pasting it into sta.sh things all went screwy :shakefish: but its uploaded now

Yeah, for concrete poetry (which is what this is, idly, not visual poetry, but the current definitions) it's easier to make a pdf or screencapture of your work in Word (or whatever) and upload that as your deviation. (I learned that the hard way working on [link] ).

Normally I don't like concrete poetry as much, but here it does nicely reinforce the theme, not just by providing an image but also by shaping the way the poem is read.
