Memories, and left behind are precious, She will be comfortable in her slippers when she returns on a return visit. Best of luck to you always.

So sweet. This has a lovely flow of words as well.

Light-hearted and romantic...yes, adorable!

Gina

Very nice "Pantoufles" from one Regis to the other.

poignant read

Very creative. . . I too, hope she returns to you.

Another great offering Dear brother...Pantoufles is also Spanish for slippers except it is spelled pantuflas. Happy holidays to you and yours.

Ahhh how sweet this is. I loved it Regis

Relief indeed! Of course at my house the pantoufles are puppy bait. Patrick

I Love this Regis. Thanks for all of your kind words. You are one of the best writers ever!

Thanks for all of your enjoyable work!
Steph

I always love your work, my friend. Your writing is so colorful and meaty with emotion, from the heartfelt detente through the inevitable dénoument. This piece really moved me and reminded me of my own poem "Catfish." Hope you are enjoying a joyous season and keeping warm.

Eclatant...I think that's French for brilliant, Regis,
this of course this is. Especially the closing lines.

Regis, I like those house slippers.

The Chinese slip into them when they get home, but back home we wandered over the house in our outdoor shoes, even big mucky boots ... we know better now!

May there always be a lady's pantoufles by your door!

Sweet. Butterflies seem to always make life better. Beautiful. Liz

Ahh Regis, this is such a sweet poem "flittering and fluttering" like the teasing of the buterfly who never quite promises to return. Just what I needed on this cold, damp evening.

Love, Micki

Regis this is so sweet. I love how you used pantoufles to share with us how insignificant objects can mean so much. We would never know how significant they are unless we're told, and you said it well.

ahhhh such sweet poetry, Reg! makes me feel warm all over;-)I love it!Great new pic,too(on bio page)

Love,
Eileen

If she's left something behind to stay
You know what they say
She plan's on coming back your way.

Very tender and soft.

Beautifully written Regis and heartfelt too!
I found this very interesting....what creativity1
May the Lord strengthen and bless you and your
family Regis! Thank you for sharing and having
such a caring heart!

Much Love,
Margaret

Her feet will come home again! Touching poem Regis.

SHE'S NOT FICKLE...SHE JUST 'FLITTERS'...IN AND OUT...AND YOU THOUGHT IT WAS ALL OVER. WELL, ALL I CAN SAY IS, I HOPE YOU HAVE 'ASSUMED' CORRECTLY AND INDEED SHE WILL RETURN...SOONER OR LATER, ANYWAY. KINDA SAD. THANKS FOR SHARING AND MUCH BLESSINGS, LOVE & FAITH... JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

... ach, achingly delightful, Regis: light, bright and candy-cotton sweetness. And yes, "pantoufles" does indeed say it all! Cherry blossom drifts softly on the spring breeze of the heart here. xx

I like the intensity of the love in this piece, Regis. Like an addict...as we often are in the beginning. The longing in this poem is tangible. Excellent writing. Love and Hugs,
Sheila

charmed, indeed!

Regis, Very moving. I felt your hearts desire as I read. Nicely done.
Picture perfect thoughts. Love and light, Karen

very sweet!

a lovely poem to slip into ...

enjoyable write Regis
Slippers look like the ones, My dear Mothers
used to wag me with, when she couldn't get to the broom
Peace be with you


William

Beautiful poem Regis. I pray the Lord will bring your one true love back to you. May God bless you every day of your life.

Daniel

Leave me in the pink.

Ron

Surely she will return if she leaves behind her pretty pink pantoufles (I love the French word for slippers). "your going leaves me light-headed and aching inside fleetingly lost" is such a poignant stanza and is deeply felt. Always wonderful. ~Hugs and love, Elizabeth

So very sweet and romantic. :)

Adorable poem, mon ami!

(((HUGS)))) and much love, your friend in Texas, Karen Lynn. :D

Light as a feather..romance dances~

so beautiful...so very lovely..romance is in the air..best wisjes Regis.

BEAUTIFUL POEM!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

Enjoyed the romance. xxx

Such sweet romance, Reg. I really enjoyed this read. There is a soft sigh in each stanza.
Take care,
Sherry

Reegis, beautifully written and a marvelous message in an analogy. "you left behind promises, in your pretty pink pantoufles". "your brief presence lingers in your sweet scent" is a creative stroke to envy my dear friend. I bid you love and peace. Jon Michael

Very close to German, in that Pantoffeln is the word for slippers. Excellent poetry Regis. This is a keeper.

your words are so tenderly expressive to my heart Regis
your softness of love is carresive in each line
you are a garden of romance

Love's Bounty
Vickie

Regis,
I just love the sound of the word Pantoufles...but, for her to leave these behind, is key, one never leave behind their pantoufles..especially pink ones. Lovely romantic poetry, your heart sings in this one.

Peace, love and light,
Amber

I read it twice, delightful.

Beautifully done, Regis.

Ohhhh soooo sweet and what a nice promise too, STUPENDOUS Regis. Thank you, Dick

A wonderful love sonnet.
God bless,
Lew

Charming, fresh and tender ~
I hope she comes back for her slippers and so much more...
Blessings,
Christine

sweet and endearing, romantic...........~Morgan

I enjoyed this poem very much, Regis.


Namaste
Tony

That is more than beautiful Reg! I so enjoyed it!!

Truly a touching poem as it leaves the reader with their heart that now flutters as the words are so divine bravo!

Wonderful, and it creates such a blessed moment with that glance at the slippers. I love good moments like that.

John

You poem has a nice smooth flow and then toward the end it becomes slightly catchy. That does not ruin the poem's flow as I would have thought, but actually gives it an extra punch; I mean that in a good way. :)

Very nicely written. Has much emotion and great descriptive, vivid imagery throughout. I really enjoyed it!

I was going to ask you why you have a picture of a pair of slippers to go along with the poem but then I noticed on the bottom of the page you let readers know that pantoufles is a French word for slippers, so then it made sense.

Also, you are right on the money when you say "Inamimate objects can be powerfully symbolic..."

Now I am not sure if it is a typo or not but I want to point it out:
"you fly into my self" --> I would think it should say - you fly into myself

Thanks for sharing and please keep on writing.

Hey, if they fit, wear them, they look like they'd be warm...e

If you were a Frencyh-Canadian kid growing up like me, the memories cascade out....your poem puts an adult spin on them....
