SOCKSHOP Anthology - in celebration of National Poetry Day

So it's National Poetry Day here in the UK and, in celebration of all things poetic, the SOCKSHOP Team has been getting creative and writing their very own sock poems!

Hope you enjoy!

Danielle - Blog writer

I decided to go first and ended up coming up with a rather poignant poem about a lonely sock. I call this one Ode to an odd sock.

'Where art thou? Where art thou?
The other sock to my pair!'
Cried the lonely striped sock
In a brief fit of despair.

He searched the house both high and low,
To find his other half.
He looked in all the kitchen cupboards,
He even looked in the bath.

But he could not find his stripy friend,
All he could do was watch the clock;
And wait for one like him to come along,
Another lonely, odd sock.

Dave - Buyer

After I shared my poem around the office for inspiration, our buyer Dave replied with this creative response to my poem (some would call it plagiarism but I decided to look the other way). He titled it Ode to the other odd sock.

Kim - Designer

Being one of our design team, Kim is certainly creative; even when it comes to words! Check out her sock-and-tightstastic poem!

I love a new pair of socks,
Soft, star would be the thing,
To jazz me up and add some “Bling”.

For when I’m out and about,
I’d give “My red,
I’d get outside and “knock em dead”.

So SOCKSHOP is the place for me,
with so many varieties I can’t wait to see!!!
   

So there you have it. A small anthology of poems by the SOCKSHOP team.
