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

just wanted to share a short sweet poem i wrote when i was buying my home and moving out of my moms house : )

bee poem

look up, look down

scent of honey in the air

spread my bee wings- and fly,

it’s my turn to leave the hive.

i’m my own queen now.

 

thats all just simple and amateur. hope anyone reading has a great day!

It's delightful.  Poetry should leave us feeling something and, your short but "sweet" poem, leaves us feeling uplifted, happy, imagining spreading our own "bee wings" and flying.  Thank you so very much for sharing.  Your friend in poetry, Susan
