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
AUTUMN- A NEW BEGINING!
The trees are so excited,
Blowing the leaves in a waltz,
They look like they are dying by falling,
But it is a begining to their new journey!
They are bound to the tree,
A new tranquil to ease the minds,
Even if they suddenly change their way,
To a far away land, they take a nap beside a singing lake!
Falling do not mean failing,
It paves a way to a new adventure,
To explore in their fluterring youth,
A stroll to mingle with foe and friends!
The skies are so wide,
That it stares at the falling leaves,
In jealous and bewilderment from afar,
Unable to join with the waltzing wings!
There she goes in her own way,
Separating from her honest friend,
Who had spent his life guarding her,
To set her off in a new journey!
- Swetha.
