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
What am I doing?
Where am I now?
What will it take to bring me back into my senses?
Why am I sacred?
Why I'm in trouble?
What will it take to make me feel by myself?
Just like stars in the sky
My problems are infinite
What should I do now?
Oh! What should I do now?
Come with you, feel the pain
Or get close and share the pain
Will it make us feel both light?
Will it heal us all the way night?
Leave it here, burn it up
Or give it one more chance right there
Will it be alright to think?
Will it be fine to blink?
Come together with me
All the way round
Come together in my heart
In my soul now
Catch your sorrows now
Hold your fears now
(we'll get rid of them)
Come together oh oh oh!
Just a believer
Lost in the crowd
But found my way
Back to the land full of happiness
Watching the rainbow
Right here and now
It's been too gloomy
But it feels like heaven anigh!
