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

Comfort zone (2 replies)

Here i go

Away from my comfort zone

Away from my peaceful abode

Where there's eyes everywhere

Where there's hardly anyone to lean on

Every single step i take

Shouldn't let my guard down

Buttoning up all my weakness

Here i stand

With my head held high

Straightening up my back

Sweeping away my timid self

For the eyes that follow me

With my dreams ahead of me

Here i walk up step by step

Challenging those who says

'SHE is just a weak woman'
