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
She goes through all the pain,
But they're not ready to welcome her they feel its shame.
She's pillar of your home with no appreciation & fame,
But still works with all her bleeding flame.
She's up all night with her broken hopes & crying eyes,
And you're still busy comforting yourself with lies.
She's your responsibility you promised her to protect,
But she was Scratched, tortured & killed & what happened was just protest.
She don't know how to dress,
Just because you studied university,
But your education have made you more oppress.
She is outpouring & you cannot contain her in any frame,
Because she is a girl &
A girl has no name.
