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
As a child I never realized that life would be like this See you doing everything for our family was such a bliss Growing up I realized the true value of you Oh my dearest father.. I didn't knew God sent you for me so that i could wonder in the free sky As a child I love you because you bought me beautiful gifts But as I growed I saw the immense love and care which was beyond the gifts From having my back in tough times From teaching me the true virtues of life And all the things a daughter could ask from a father From nurturing me in the beginning to helping me grow It was never just you it was your time care and patience Always wanted to portray my feelings for you but i was lost in words Dad you may get a good daughter but I will never ever get a great dad like you I once believed in being me but now I want to be like you Thanks for everything dear father I love you!
