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
A WALK BY THE SEASHORE!
The cool breeze,
Was only soothing,
Astonishingly it was not in seize,
It was quite a wonderful meeting,
Strolling over the land with my bare foot,
Without my expensive boots!
The whispering of the waves,
Was an enchanting semiquaver pitches,
Making my heart fly away with soothing flames,
There was even no critics like witches,
To banish me for no reason,
And summer was the amusing season!
The seashells were staring at me,
As I walked into the sea without any fee,
Oh yeah! It was a day without any hesitation,
Where my soul was a complete dedication!
What is that murmur sound that I hear?
It's the singing tale of star fishes without any tear!
The gold sun was already descending,
Waving me "goodbye" with his cringey rays,
He was quite amusing this evening,
For making me feel like a sea queen without any says!
I grabbed my boots leaving my heart behind,
To make a comeback again to my dukedom!
-Swetha.
