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
When in broad day light
You grop me
In the bus full of people
With their eyes finding scenary
Where my palpitations are not visible
When walking back to home
You just stuck your tongue
Muteing not only my voice
But my soul too
When people dismiss me
On basis of choice of my clothes
When nights go blind
And my voice echo
With sound of terror
With Adriline rushing through veins
When only instict should be fight or flight
But my body go numb
When my clothes are tattered
But your pleasure blooms
When my strength dies , with me
From the weight of your body
When our body cojoins
And my soul crushes
