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
The blue sky
with a hue of lilac
and the sun shone
behind the white
touched by the
shades of grey
which drove me away
amidst the birds &
told me that I'm
one of them to
free fly and to race
with the wind
to scare the storm
and to hug the breeze
to be the light
and to shimmer
like fireworks
on the new year's Eve
when they told me
'we can't know better;
until knowing better is useless'
and age is a human concept
for your spiriis are eternal
and your soul is timeless
and they drove me back
to my terrace where
I was daydreaming
drenched by the drizzles
so I wrote this piece of art
which was nothing
infront of what I saw
up above so
I inked it with my love.
