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
Bubbles burst
float by pop away
stream sway
a whispered nerve
fluttering cadence
measured in butterfly wings
shut open eye blink
dancing water shimmering
sunlight wink
flowers nod petal twirls
bird song breeze whorls
criss cross current curls
dizzy sky
blurbing aqueous clouds
wide and high
Stage set
distant rumble
a moment
drenched in
silent expectant
still breath
rainbow bent
for
that descent
that release
that blessing
that rain
Suchitra Lata
