Welcome to my Poet Lady Chat Room. I would like to invite you to click on the chat box and type in a question, a suggestion, submit a poem, in other words – “chat with me.” I may, if you submit a poem, decide to feature it in my Poem of the Week section or, we may simply exchange ideas and suggestions about your poem.
This is a place to “talk” poetry with someone who has loved it all her life. I have a true passion for the possibilities of poetry and would love to hear your thoughts and/or read your poem. I will be happy to offer my reaction to your work and, based on over 40 years of teaching poetry, organizing, and conducting poetry workshops, working as a book review editor for an international poetry magazine, authoring five books of poetry and two textbooks on teaching poetry, send along my thoughts on ways to make your poem stronger and more impactful.
If you’re on my site, you have a connection to poetry. Feel free to connect with me – right here -right now, by typing your message into the “chat box” and clicking send. I’m waiting…
Your friend in poetry, Susan
FEATURED POEM
Human life is such a shame
Everyone around is only playing the game of blame
Fights on Religion and caste and what not
The vein of humanity is about to clot
Sitting home during this virus and criticising is so simple
The doctors are still trying to fight with smiles and dimple
Is politics superior than lives?
It's better to suicide with a knife
Attacks on doctors and Stone throws
Is this how our country should grow?
God has entered the body of doctors it seems
And your cribbing for not being able to go to gyms
Co operation is all they need
Let's unite together and plant the humanity seed
Doctors are sacrificing their lives for others
And you want to Rome around and gather
So many worries and a year full of cries
And still you want some cheesy fries
The base and foundation within us is slipping as if we are standing on Grease
Pray for ones who are gone and may their souls rest in peace!
