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…

I write you in my verse 

With ink of impalpable words, 

Shuffled with scarlet memories

Enclosed in envelope of trust... 

 

My soul yearns for your amber eyes

Confines in ageless sunrise, 

Expressing my pristine feeling through fragrance ethereal

You are my phenomenal blessing of rejoice. 

 

Admist of the caravan of time

I wait for you day and night, 

Surpassing million of miles

Hoping to meet you in brisk moonlight..

This is really a very lovely poem.  Your imagery is intriguing and invites the reader in to the poem in a meaningful way.  There are a few places where the grammar needs to be addressed - for example: the tense should be "confined" not "confines" - "enclosed in (an) envelope of trust..." - "Amidst (take out "of") the caravan of time..."  Really a very lovely, very well written poem - you should be very proud of it.  Thank you so much for sharing it with me.  I hope, at some future date, to be able to feature it on one of my Instagram posts.  Your friend in poetry,  Susan
