Best Slipper Poems

THE SLIPPER FITS CINDERELLA

I could have danced all night,
I fell in love that night,
I felt it i was so right,
You held me just so tight,
I could have danced all night,
And could have begged for more,
How did I know that night,
My life would change as
Never before,
What...

Twilight downs the sun as dreams appear on the screen of sleep

Slips into the subconscious realm and trips a few fuses in slumber

Adapts and clears clutter and narrates and alters the story in kind

Strips and clips a mind full of sentience like an ad-blocking app

When...

Winters in Kansas have deep snow
One Christmas my "Bro" and I  got
A present given to us both
Which then it seemed happened a lot!  

It was an orange plastic sled
But we thought about a cool stunt
Using cardboard and some stiff wire
We made a cover...

"The Glass Slipper"

I was waiting for a glass slipper
For my prince in shining armor
to take me away from my sorrow
into my happily ever after.
I sat around wishing on stars;
Kissing frogs wherever I went;
Dropping coins in wishing wells;
Waiting for true love's kiss.
It was only after he...

Cinderella had a shoe made of glass
Gave an opportunity too good to pass
The prince she wed
Mean sisters fled
Went from poverty straight to upper class...

Cinderella lost her slipper 
while she ran away from the ball 
tripped on a step, had nasty fall, 
her wicked step-sister hit her 
and got laughed at by the other, 
but, Cinders, did not care at all 
found the slipper, it hit the wall 
angered...

The lady slipper
Flowering pink in shadows
Rare beauty of love
Rising above the darkness
Perfect fit worn by the heart

Million and one things better than applause..
okay to go through life ne'er seeking praise.
Though rain tree unwatered, grows half as tall,
an unloved heart wilts in overbear'n shade.

Your so called friends left such beauty undone.
chide more than console you 'can't win 'em all'
Well, perhaps not your...

In a society where mood elevators thrive
Of Lady’s Slipper’s value we should not be deprived

Now as rare as the Native American culture
That found the medicinal plant promotes composure

Its moccasin shape made it even more attractive
To peaceful tribes who disdained the hyperactive

For just like stepping into...

Artificial Intelligence that is what they call it 
colloquial words scattered telepathically
without number system
They met me at four thirty am 
outside 
with the sound of an ancient helicopter
soaking me with sensory stimuli;
    
Elemental infrastructure meets futurism  
with resounding harmony;  
Standing...

How could it be!? I was sinking deep in sin, choosing a life that was never made for me. 
I grew up in a Christian family, in a household filled with morals, values and we lived happily.
Many of you know bits and pieces of my...

~`T was in Disney land, Walt Disney’s grand, 
   Cinderella, rags to riches, met her charming prince.
   She did not lose her shoe, but she threw, 
   there out of the blue, to divine prince her shoe. 

~What is...

In the black and white days of the 1950’s schools made youngsters learn and learn well or else,
Uniforms were as important with short trousers and knee length grey socks with elastic garters,
Garters would get so tight they left impressions on legs that took ages to...

Oh, flower in this crannied wall,
how did your roots prevail and sprawl
from seed that landed in a crack-
so shallow, small, in woods set back
from warm sun rays, to grow in shade
with vines about you- old and frayed?

Your blossom glows a vibrant red;
you stand out bright...

After a short illness keeping me off Soup, and a 50-year refrain from Prose Poetry, I was inspired by a Thomas Merton talk about Rilke to find the courage for this form again.

Is there any wonder some of us desire shoes as dreams of...
