Stuck in shoe bottoms,
tiny rocks make their escape
into your clean home.
Those living in glass houses
should take shoes off at the door.
I wrote the first part and classmate Julia Teichet wrote the Renga (the last two lines).

Ian,
This poem covers the reference to nature — rocks –, everyday routine — shoe bottoms –, home, an abstraction about our home — glass houses –, and a way to avoid the perceived unwanted escape.

That’s one thing I love about poetry: there are SO many interpretations. I was focused on a “small noticing,” tying it in with humor and a dab of personification, but you point out some interesting thoughts as well.
