what a charming invitation and your work does inspire engagement

And how wonderful it is to glimpse within another soul...
How beautiful to have a full understanding that we can all
relate to in life... for none of us are alone are we...

Love and Light,
Lily

You're very erudite. I've found this to be absolutely true.
Read twenty to plenty of another's poems and you meet the real person.
Every poet I've met in person are how I imagined them to be.
There's no where to hide. For certain sure.
Top going!

Expressiveness sealed with a kiss and shared. Thanks, Regis for inviting me to your words and world.

you have a way of making anyone feel welcome, Regis ... Beautifully written ...

A welcoming preface poem to the reader of your work, Regis!

I DO, I DO!! Regis, I LOVE this! One of your very best in my book and so wonderfully sets out an excellent attitude and concept. going 'from glance to engagement' is certainly where the rubber hits the road and affords each of us our very special 'glimpse'. Excellent analogy. Reminds me that Sylvia Plath once described poetry as being something like 'the space between the opening and the closing of a door'. You've absolutely hit the nail on the head here - very artistically. Thank you. xx

Wow!!! Love this! It always feels warm and welcoming inside your poetry..."A Door Left Ajar"...awesome poetic phrase....

Anna

You bring something special always. Thanks.

Regis, You are such a gentle-man!

Always,

Deborah

OK, but watch out for that first step!

Pleased to do so.....if only we could share a coffee :)

Beyond themes, poems can give us glimpses into the heart of the poet. An open door allows us to interact with the writer and enjoy his acquaintance, while growing more familiar with each encounter.

I always like your friendly approach and your way of encouraging when you leave comments, even when you may not agree with what is said.

It's easy to see how well-liked you are here by the many reviews on all your writings.

Another friend, made welcome by your caring disposition,
Connie
