A poem about my shoes ;D

In LA we had to write a poem about how our shoes reflect our personality. I wrote mine about my paddock boots. We just turned it in last week and I am awaiting a grade. I hope you enjoy!
~-~-~

My paddock boots lay outside the door
They had been torn, banged, and dirtied
And the scent of a farm came with them too;
The smelly sweat and animals followed me around like I was their leader

I?d only wear them at the barn
A clop clop clop came from underneath them with every step I?d take
And a small trail of mud grew as I walked

From riding horses to cleaning stalls,
I have never washed them
Every particle of dust and dirt had a meaning,
All the things I?ve don?t in these have been caked onto them for me to recall
My boots were my scrapbook.

After thinking to myself for some time, I went to the door and pulled them in,
Gripping the dirty leather in between my fingers
Rubbing it into my palms and the memories were coming in,
And I remembered the good days
