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

Christmas delight. (1 reply)

Tiny glowing star

Christmas delight.

 

Joyful Carols

Fills one's heart with happiness,

Christmas trees

That spreads beauty of season!

 

Laughs of people

Flourishes moments with pleasing sounds,

Exchange of presents

That brings beaming smiles in surprise.

 

Children's anticipation

Towards a saint with reindeers,

Shimmering snowman

That stands tall with kids amusement!

 

Jingle bells,

That rings the day with pleasure,

Cathedral bells,

Which marks the day with harmonious rings.

- Swetha.

What a lovely "picture" of the holiday.  Gentle, like a lazy snowfall - with beautiful references to that which is most meaningful about this holiday season.  Thank you so much for sharing.  I think we all need to take a deep breath and remember how to just embrace the beauty of the season.  Your poem reminds us of that.  - Susan
