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
In the clouds amidst the mist,
I see you standing in my dreams,
Where you left me.
The nostalgia hits me hard,
Since it is a reminiscence of you.
Here, I lay with an abandoned soul
Torn apart, shattered down & left filthy.
The days past now with the shallowest of joy
And deepest of sorrow;
My heart beats with eager
Hoping to start it all over again,
For the tale of two, whose
Chivalry turned out worser than rivalry.
Though the heart knows it would be in vain.
