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
Let us part like we Pangea, with hopes life we breathe into each other dies not,
Let us kiss and say goodbye, nay let us shake hands as if business concluded,
If eyes ever meet, I hope not brow nor cheeks ever confess that love I once shared,
Yet if chance to be yours once more betakes me I’d servantly bow to the beat of your heart.
I still ache with desire for you thus I must be gravedigger to mines emotions.
If death would seek you I would newly confess my love for you ‘cause even burying them doesn’t kill them.
If a wish I could be grant, I’d wish to be your morning star in the first garden man was birth in, to be your solace on nights when your eyes red with tears as darkness marries you.
Nay this be reality and au revoir all my lips can give to yours.
