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

A World Full Of Imagination (1 reply)

I dream to fly high ,

Within and far away in the sky ,

Far away from the web of lies ,

In the beautiful land where one never cries ,

My imagination soars so mighty ,

That sometimes I think to dream is my duty ,

That's what i think is natures beauty ,

I wish to run  ,

Far away where there is always fun ,

Where no one is ever threaten ,

Or Bullied or beaten ,

Where one is never frighten ,

I want my fantasy to be true ,

Where one can live in the world one drew ,

So splendid so new ,

I crave for the freedom to write ,

Where words are mightier than a mere fight ,

Where everywhere is just light ,

Where everything can be cured ,

And one is always assured ,

For now its just a fragment of my imagination ,

For now my ambition is my destination ,

Where All this is just a silly temptation ,

As this world is full of competition ,

So just let this be a vacation ,

From the world full of  aspiration .

Thank you so much for sharing this very thought-provoking poem with me.  You have some very fine lines in you poem and they give the poem a power and intensity,  "For now my ambition is my destination..." and "Where one can live in the world one drew..."  I would suggest you check your English grammar and also, as I say to everyone who submits poems, don't let the rhyme rule your poem!  Poetry is about a message but, a message that comes to us through imagery (metaphor and simile) and line break, and alliteration, and many other poetic techniques.  Your powerful message would come across so much stronger were we to hear it in a truly poetic voice.  I will, with pleasure, add your poem to the many I am considering for Featured Poem of the Month for July.  Thank you again for sharing this impassioned poem with me, Susan
